Hi. Did you forget to say that this question is about "Court Rejects New York City's Portion Cap for Sugary Drinks" by Dr. Lisa Firestone

According to the text, in the last 50 or 60 years, people's expectations regarding food and drink portions have increased enormously.

Explanation:

The text reflects on the size of the cups of sugary drinks that are sold in the country. For the author and other experts on the subject, American cups are too large and contribute directly to the degradation of citizens' health, in addition to contributing to the increase in obesity cases.

The author states that "In the 1950s, the soda at McDonald's was 7 ounces; today, the company sells a quart-size soda nearly five times larger than its original size" showing that over time, even with the most in-depth knowledge on healthy foods, Americans' expectations of food and drink portions have increased dramatically.
