Portion Control
Here’s one phrase in the English language that I can’t stand: “portion control.” It drives me up the wall. You’re telling me that I have to control the amount of food that’s presented to me? No, I’m not always the one in control of the portions – and I know I’m not always going to be conscious about my hand-to-mouth activity. Case in point: I ate entirely too many dried fruit & nuts at Lili Cheng’s the other night (the bowl was within arm’s reach, and I was engrossed in the conversation). Are you telling me I didn’t exercise control over my unconscious behaviors?! I have nobody to blame but myself, but what about those times that someone else serves you and expects you (socially or personally) to eat everything?
