Restaurants Offering Small Portions Continue to Grow in Number

Custom HealthCare, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which has been offering insurance services to individuals and businesses since 1973.

Richmond, VA (prHWY.com) September 24, 2012 - Richmond, Virginia - Historically, downsizing of portion sizes has not gone well for the full-service industry, although fast food chains successfully introduced small menu items in the wake of the movie "Super Size Me," which depicted how quickly some fast food can spur weight gain. Conditions like diabetes and cancer can drive up the costs of medical care and insurance in Virginia for those afflicted with these diseases, so living a healthy lifestyle is wise for your wallet.

In an attempt to help reduce the risk of complications that can result from an unhealthy diet, a number of restaurants and restaurant chains are offering small portions as an option on their menus. Another recent trend involves menu labeling laws, some of which require restaurants to disclose the caloric totals of menu items to diners prior to their meal. New York City takes this strategy a step further with its ban on sugary beverages larger than 16 ounces. Posters displayed in New York City subways adopt a psychological approach to pushing a healthy lifestyle by illustrating how portion size has changed over the years and tying large portions to conditions like Type 2 diabetes. One concern driving all of these initiatives is the link between an unhealthy diet and certain serious diseases, which can place an enormous strain on insurance in Virginia rates.
