Recalibrating

I've been in the USA for almost a week and I can detect the ways in which my tastes are changing.
In food, the pervading sweetness and large portion sizes (compared with European standards) are becoming normalised.

In a pub last night I found myself looking at women whose comfort-sized waists and arses would exclude themselves totally from consideration back home. It's just that large has become normalised. Even the Metro exit gates seem larger than those in London.
