Smaller Snack Attack

Bigger isn't better, but thinking that way got us into our obesity epidemic. Food makers are starting to make smaller portions. Coke and Pepsi both sell 8 oz cans of soda. Kraft offers 100 calorie single serve packages of Oreo Thin Crisps, Wheat Thins and other snacks. You'll soon see the king sized candy bars phased out.

The trend has even reached restaurants, with half-sized portions. If you need something sweet, buy up a couple bags of Halloween candy. The portions are small so you don't have to eat a whole lot just to get a little sugar fix.
