>From what I've read, in the 1960's, the average plate size was 75% of what it is today. Most people don't measure the amount of food they put in a plate. They eyeball how "full" the plate appears.

This is also why food plates are often quite small in places with open buffet (hotel breakfasts, events with catering)
