Importance of portion-controls in a balanced diet

10. September 2009 17:40
Check out this video about the mission of our Lean Cuisine brand, and how portion-controls and a balanced diet play an important role in the obesity epidemic. Professor James O. Hill, Director of the Centre for Human Nutrition, University of Colorado, tells us that people respond to external cues on how hungry they are.  In short - ‘The more on your plate, the more you eat.’  Besides offering a delicious and nutritiously balanced meal, Professor Hill also thinks that the Lean Cuisine brand helps consumers learn what a proper portion size looks like. 2/3 of adults are overweight and by all indications the obesity epidemic has affected the younger generation as well.  Reversing this trend requires behavior changes; Lucian Vendome, a chef from our Culinary Centre thinks, ‘It’s about innovation, it’s about passion, vision, a commitment to quality.  And it all begins here, in the kitchens.’
