I just so happen to be looking to replace some dinner plates that are chipped so was trying to find the matching pattern on eBay. The plates I have are 10" and I was curious what a standard size dinner plate is. I wouldn't mind if the plates were 11" instead but not because I need more room to pile food on. I'm just weird in that I like some working room LOL; I need the ability to shove stuff over to one side until I'm ready to work on it.
I'm not sure about the correlation between plate size and obesity as you can always pile food higher or there is something called "getting seconds". I'm not shy about getting seconds if I'm hungry for more so dinner plate size isn't going to control me. The girlfriend is weird IHMO. She just about flatly refuses to get up and get more food if she's hungry so she has this tendency to put A LOT more food on her plate than she needs then ends up with a bunch of leftovers. I just don't get the reluctance to take a 20 foot stroll to get more food. Whatever
