OK, we’re obese, our portions are too big, we eat too much junk, we obsess over often ridiculous food fads, and yes, we’ve all gone through periods where our esophagus acted as a black hole inhaling artificial ingredients and chemical concoctions by the barrelful (I call mine the Funyun Decade). But at least there’s this from the NYT: American’s are finally eating less. Some of the drop is a result of better education and regulation. And some can be explained by the fact that our daily soda intake is no longer measured in gallons.
