Virginia Tech Feb. 23rd KTU exhibit- "Guess that Portion Size"

Healthy eating means knowing what and how much you eat.  Although the terms serving and portion sizes are used interchangeably, they are actually two different things.  A “serving” is the amount of food recommended by consumer education material such as MyPyramid.  A “portion” is the amount of food you choose to eat at any one time.  If your portion is bigger than one food group serving, it counts as more than one serving.  To overcome portion distortion, kids will have the chance to be part of a game show where they estimate recommended serving sizes using common household items.
