An infographic from the CDC highlights how portion sizes in fast food restaurants have grown since the 1950s.
As burgers get bigger, so does the country's obesity epidemic.
According to a shocking new graphic from the Centers for Disease Control, a typical fast-food burger weighed just 3.9 ounces in the 1950s. Now, it’s 12 ounces — three times larger.
An average order of fries has grown from 2.4 ounces to 6.7 ounces.
Soft drinks are even worse.
Today, people drink 42-ounce sodas, up from the comparatively skimpy 7-ounce pours people got at fast-food restaurants in the ’50s.
The infographic is the latest in a recent onslaught of news highlighting out-of-control portion sizes and weight problems in America.

Researchers reported the crisis could cost the nation $550 billion for health care over the next 20 years.
On Monday, a federal study revealed a worrisome spike in Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes among adolescents ages 12 to 19. Doctors say the rise is tied to the childhood obesity epidemic.

Another report from this week, published in the journal Public Health Nutrition, revealed that 96% of entrees in America's chain restaurants fail to meet federal nutrition recommendations because of the amount of calories, sodium, fat and saturated fat they contain.
