Say No to Supersize

Over the past 20 years restaurants and food companies have been increasing the amount of food that is contained in a serving. These larger serving sizes are considered a contributing factor to the rise in obesity. Not surprisingly, children eat more if the size of the portion on their plate is larger.

In most cases, a serving size for a child under two years old is one ounce (about two tablespoons). Every day, your baby should eat two to four servings each of fruits and vegetables and two or three servings protein (beans, eggs, lean meat or fish) and grains (preferably whole grain brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta, oatmeal).
