Size Matters
It is really hard to keep an eye on your weight here. I am a bit of a tuber – having been gaining weight steadily since University. Out here it is really hard to keep it under control. For example, I bought myself a medium sized bag of M&M’s the other day they weigh 14oz. That is almost 400g. And that is the medium sized one!
Jen & I recently went to the cinema (we saw Pirates of the Cariberan 2) and we ordered a small Pepsi each. They contained 36oz of fluid. EACH. That is just over a litre of fizzy beverage and it was the SMALL one.
No wonder obesity is a problem here. I have seen people who look like they weigh the same amount as a small whale. I have seen mothers and fathers feeding their 6 month old babies coke and popcorn. I have eaten over a pound of meat in a restaurant and I nearly vomited. The portion sizes here are massive. We have decided to limit our visits to restaurants as it is impossible to control your portion size. Especially in the land of the all you can eat buffet where people see that as a challenge. Ian and Chris please never have an eating competition here you will die.
