Been a while, but I've heard that the US gov says

from half galon (two quarts) to 1.5 quarts. Other
food items have shrunk, also. Pound of spaghetti
now contains 13 ounces, in some packages.

But, the concept is so true. We may be at the point
of needing victory gardens.

Don't worry!
We'll all be living in the company dorm soon and we'll have plenty of fish heads and rice to eat.

They had to make up for everything being "supersized" at fast food
