Size matters: the impact of upselling on weight gain

This report highlights that the average person consumes an additional 330 calories each week 17,000 per year as a result of businesses upselling high calorie food and drink. The report, which includes a survey of 2,055 UK adults, shows that consumers face an average of 106 verbal pushes towards unhealthy choices each year as they are asked whether they would like to upgrade to larger meals and drinks, add high calorie toppings or sides to their order or take advantage of special offers on unhealthy food and drink.
