I lament the size of portions also. It's not always easy to bring half home, I really do wish that restaurants offered half-portions of their meals. It's sometimes so tempting to keep eating!
Bagels and other foods are being touted as "jumbo" or "super-sized" as if that's a good thing! And the "for just one more dollar you can double your..." mentality kind of makes us think we are getting away with something or having a great treat when we need to think of it as more of an insult!
