today's editions promise fewer servings
English to Chinese
Tech/Engineering
Medical: Health Care
The average plate is 12 or 13 inches across, up from 10 inches one decade ago. Recipe books often contain the same ingredients as they did years ago, but today's editions promise fewer servings simply because we are eating more. In general, we consume an average of 500 calories per day more than our parents did.

猜想
猜想是说做饭菜的食/菜谱没有变，但现代人的饭量变大了，所已以前可供三人吃的饭菜现在只够两人吃的了。即现代(版本)食谱做出的饭菜所能分的份额少了。
