Each Friday we will bring you an interesting, fun, or just plain strange piece of information that caught our eye.

This week, we offer up an article from Fast Company about a unique idea in portion control. As many of you may know, dinner plates in the U.S. have  grown over the past 60 years from an average diameter of 9 inches to 13 . On top of the extra volume, we also tend to to overload our plates with the wrong types of food.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Be well.
