      Food waste and obesity are problems.

      Probably the better solution is more granular serving sizes with corresponding prices. Like pay less to get less.

        the problem is food cost is more often than not the least expensive cost of a restaurant. especially a fast food restaurant. So giving you a large Fri vs small. is so small for them it’s not even noticeable from their cost. their loss comes from two things the sizes and price difference are only their to get you to buy the one with the beter profit margin. small and medium are only there to make you feel like you got value from buying the large. it cost more for the card stock Fri container than it does for the Fries.

        Food waste isn’t as big a problem as people seeking to profit off basic necessities like eating.

        People don’t go hungry because you didn’t eat all your fries, they go hungry because it’s not “economical” to feed them.

      Bro.
      How about giving people the option to pay less for smaller portions? Is that not allowed for some reason? I’m a small guy, and every restaurant I visit in the west pretty much charges me double and gives me twice as much food as I could possibly handle. It sucks when traveling, because I can’t exactly just take it home.

        I’ve never been to a fast food place that didn’t have multiple serving sizes available for their fries.

        It’s not hard to order a smaller size if you know you’re not hungry enough for a larger portion.
