Paying more for scraps than for fresh food? Absolutely ridiculous. Leave it to SF hipsters to be into this kind of thing, especially while talking about how "green" and "eco-friendly" they are.
Just start by giving smaller servings. Really, the size of servings in US is ridiculous, who is supposed to finish that?
Size of serving vs actual serving sizes In many countries they have smaller servings - but it's typical to eat 2-3 servings.

What? That's simply not true, I've traveled through almost all of Europe and even lived in some of those places and nowhere it was "normal" to get 2-3 servings.
Maybe the parent comment is counting the salad, the soup and the dessert?
