There was an article about how the Food companies are going to cut calories in their products.
These companies are keeping a step ahead of the “Fat Police” (our government regulators.)

Due to the national and local efforts to raise food taxes. Have you ever met a politician who did not like a tax (no mater what they claim) and a rising tide of lawmakers preparing to write anti-obesity measures.

In the article there was this line “The companies will introduce lower calorie foods, change product recipes and reduce portion sizes.” I would bet the portion size will get smaller but the price of the product will not come down. This policy is a win win situation for the food companies.
