I wish more restaurants were willing to serve half portions

12. What About Kiddie Meals?

Many adults eat that size portion or would like to but you will see menus that state 10 and under, or something similar. I mean you don't expect a toy and a sheet to color on but I know many seniors who struggle with the portions yet do not split meals because they each want something else.
It's true that many foods are not doggie bag friendly. Many salads go limp especially if they pack it in with a hot entree.
Why can't they offer light size meals on their menus? It's bad enough that many of your budget type sit down eateries can carb you right out of your daily allowance. They seem to think that corn is a staple that should be in your salad as well as your entree along with rolls,instant spuds(or starchy fries),a breaded chunk of meat or fried fish. A "salad" to many of these restaurants is two pieces of head lettuce with a shred of carrot. No wonder many have to eat at home or take their chances,eat out and fret over their blood sugar all day. It's not just the quantity--it's the quality as well.
Those that can afford an expensive meal out have a better chance to find menus that are more carb friendly and I think they can have smaller portions too. I have never been able to afford such a dining experience so I don't know this to be a fact.
