There are so many programs on TV about nutrition, so that everyone should know, that there is no such thing as forbidden food in a healthy diet, it's just the quantities that you consume.
Interestingly American Fast Food menu sizes are much bigger than European menus. Scientists have proved, that saturation is partially dependent on serving amounts. e.g. So if an European is happy (or saturated) with a Big Mac menu counting 1200 calories an American customer will be served a 1900 calories menu. Instead of stopping to feel hungry after eating 1200 calories, like the European guy the American still has a lot of food left on his tray and still feels hungry. This is not because Americans burn more calories, but because the persons appetite adapts itself to the served portion size.
So in the end, if you would always buy a normal size menu you would feel as happy or saturated as when you would double size it. (obviously this should be in a relevant range)
So after watching the practical experiment in the movie "double size me" everyone should have understood, that too much of a good thing is bad.
So after all "Size does matter", Bigger is not Better like some Burger Companies want to make you believe.
Cheers.

yes but most of us are caught in a catch 22. where every other commercial, billboard or magazine page has some form of fast food advertised most of us work until odd hours where it's too late to cook but something tasty is wanted so what do we do: sacrafice fast for health

Yep. Not all of us eat it 7 days a week. I have it once a month maybe...

"Americans"???? some are and some aren't. older people more than younger. health conscious more than coach potatoes... you get the drift.
