Beef Albondigas & Patatas portion sizing...

I know there have been several discussions about different portion sizing. I've been chuckling when I open the app and I see "BIGGER. HEALTHIER. TASTIER." as I watch the proteins get smaller and the rice and the salad portions get bigger, but the price doesn't get lower.

This recipe was laughable to me this past week and it's one of the few recipes I've been really disappointed with in my 200+ boxes. Not only was it not "mixed greens," (it was only baby spinach), but it was a soccerball sized amount of baby spinach and very small portion for both the beef for the meatballs and the potatoes.

Has anyone else been seeing the drop in portion sizing, or at the very "least" a drop in the size of protein that is the real cost of the meal and increase in size of the vegetable?
