Eat fabulous rich food in France and the portions are smaller, much smaller. I have spend plenty of time in both countries with my children. In France we eat what is served, in the US we always share plates, and it is often my wife and I share 1 portion and the 4 children one between them. And I would say the half portion I share with my wife is usually bigger than the full French portion. And the food in the US is generally so good it is hard to resist...
