We need to be passing consumer protection legislation to make companies stop doing things like this. Just "calling on them" to end the process isn't going to do anything to fix the problem. Companies have no incentive to do the right thing for their customers. The only thing they care about is short term profit.
What's a reasonable approach to this?
Standardize portion size, and disallow any change in packaging volume/weight? How can this be reasonably defined?
Ban price increases, presumably on a weight basis?
Good
