REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of this?
Kevin Reidy 4/17/2018 6:49 PMUsing smaller plates helps cut down on over eating which leads to a may regulated diet.
