Here's a fun website from the NIH (oh, look, an oxymoron!): Portion Distortion! It shows you what a standard portion size for a particular food item (a bagel, perhaps?) was 20 years ago, what its caloric content was then, and what the comparables are now. Read it and weep (or say no thanks).
If you're interested in bioethics, the editors of The American Journal of Bioethics have a blog (begun in September, but I just found out about it). From a brief perusal it appears to be full of newsy links.
