Growth of Fast Food Portion Sizes | video

A video describing a proposed user interface. After researching the astronomical growth of fast food portion sizes since the 1950s, I created an interactive timeline to help show others just how much they are eating when they go to a fast food chain.

The user is able to click on a timeline based on the different "eras" that the industry as a whole has gone through, and then click on individual dates to see just when burgers got to be so big. Each patty on each burger represents the recommended portion of meat to have at a meal.
