3: Portions doomed to failure

Portion size is a major problem. GDA is based on portions. The smaller the portion, the healthier a product looks. The food industry has decided on very small portions.

Therefore it has been suggested that the EU establish universal portions. But it is impossible to define universal portions that are not misleading when it comes to real products and real people because of big variations. ? No portion fits all.

• People need and eat different amounts depending on age, gender, activity, hunger and liking.
• Nobody can or should establish recommended portions for foods that consumers should limit.
• Should a portion be the recommended, the realistic, or the average amount?

Trying to repair GDA this way is only in the interest of food industry. Not in the interest of the consumers.

PS: If the food industry really wants to fight obesity, they should instead produce and sell smaller packages.
