Well, this is potentially problematic.

The New York Times reported today that many packaged food have been downsized — but no one told the consumers. Now, I get that food costs are increasing and manufacturers are either going to have to hike prices or decrease quantity. But, the problem is that we don’t KNOW we’re getting less. It may not be that big of a deal that you’re not getting as many Cheetos as you’re used to, but it’s an issue when you have a recipe that calls for a can of corn or a package of marshmallows, with no measurement attached. Or if you know that two packages of spaghetti are just the right amount for your family.

I usually try to post some kind of measurement with my recipes, but I will make more of an effort to do so now. And I am going to keep an eye on the labels. You may want to, too.
