Stop supersizing pasteles like mcdonalds

I love our food, but you know what I hate? The stupid supersizing of everything from alcapurrias to pasteles. Both of these I like thin , soft and hot, and golden color not dark brown like a frikking turd (too much platano in the recipe). More is not better when it comes to the size of these goodies AND BIGGER MAKES THEM HARDER TO COOK WELL. I also find that the machine does not grind the viandas but actually slices them into little thin strips and it changes the whole consistency of the pastel. I prefer yuca pasteles and ayacas (alcapurrias de yuca) and sometimes pasteles de arroz, but I rather do them myself because most people do not follow these standars of size and color and you truly NEVER KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE??????
