Local Colleges Shrink Portions


Fantastic article in today's Boston Globe about local colleges providing healthier options for students (http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2009/10/18/colleges_shrink_portions_sneak_in_healthy_ingredients/).

Some schools (Tufts & UMASS-Amherst) are shrinking portions, while others (Merrimack College) are shrinking plate sizes. There will undoubtedly be complaints about the various programs, but at least these schools are taking important steps to combat our country's obesity problem.
