When I was a kid, a standard juice glass was 4 oz. In a restaurant, an 8 oz glass of juice - if they even offered it - was considered large. Nowadays, 12 oz is considered small (with 8 oz considered extra-small, or a child's portion) ... on up to tall buckets of 24 or 30 oz that almost require two hands to lift it to your mouth . In this age of all things supersized, people look at the cost per oz and see that it's less for the larger size, so they feel cheated by the smaller one!
I recently looked at those sippy juice pouches for babies and toddlers .. they're 6 oz!! 1.5 x what used to be considered an adult serving
Manufacturers and advertisers have the world believing that supersized everything is the way to go .. yet nutrition experts point an accusatory finger at animal protein as the cause of ill health
