Coming from Europe & Asia, the amount of crap fed in America is just crazy: like “is that for ONE person?” (more like an entire table of 4) since what is considered “normal” is just beyond what my stomach can handle, whenever I see their portion sizes: it makes me puke. (No wonder why they have a higher rate of obesity…)
to add to this is the same good old fashion capitalist based enshitification that makes best-buy dates so wasteful.
in short: they feel that they can out do the competition if they give larger portions than the others.
