I noticed the same thing when I spent a year in the US. You really get a lot of (junk) food for your dollar!

Anyway, I am studying portion size effects and we found that larger portion sizes do not necessarily lead to more satisfaction of fulfilment of desire: http://foodintakecontrol.blogspot.nl/2012/08/just-bite-or-full-portion-size.html

I hope you find this an interesting paper.
