Fine - so let people with big appetites ask for Supersize and let the majority of other people have a 'normal' smaller portion. Of course nobody can force you to eat everything on the plate. My point is that it's such a shameful WASTE of perfectly good food. It would surely make better economic sense for restaurateurs to size their portions so the food is actually eaten and enjoyed rather than thrown in the bin. Maybe it's my puritanical upbringing, but it really does offend me to see plates overflowing with good food that isn't going to be eaten. I know it's cliche to talk about 'the starving children in Africa' but my conscience is troubled when I see enough food for a whole family on one plate being picked over and then pushed aside. Sorry, I must behaving a Mother Theresa moment.
