Is "Food Serving", the same thing as "Serving size" ?
Yes, they're the same. How else to explain the Consumer advocate's use of the word "But" at the start of the second sentence, jabhatta2?

Would you please tell me how to explain this to a hypothetical 10-year-old ?
what is wrong with (E)?

The problem with E is that the author neither explicitly talks about it nor implicitly indicates toward it. The author just says that people currently consume more calories than the packaging indicates that they will. Nowhere does the author say or indicate that people will start eating fewer calories once the labeling reflects the currently typical portion.
­I feel that E is an inference. While the question asks for 'main point' meaning the conclusion.
If we simply use the therefore-test, check whether option E goes with "Therefore,...". It wouldn't.
B is a conclusion and therefore the correct answer.

Main point of the argument (question type as per stem) means to give conclusion/ primary purpose

As per para - It is time package labeling reflected these changes.

This recommendation should be visible in the answer which is option B.

Official explanation

Of the answer choices given, which one most accurately states the consumer advocate's main point, that is, the advocate's main conclusion?

We are told that nutritional information on food packages currently is outdated and misleading. That is, the serving sizes that these packages show tend to understate the calories people will consume because people now typically consume greater amounts than people did when the serving sizes were set decades ago.

The consumer advocate's main conclusion is to recommend that serving sizes be updated to reflect the changes in food-consumption trends.

A. The fact that serving sizes are misleadingly small is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.

B. Correct. This accurately expresses the consumer advocate's main conclusion.

C. The fact that people consume more calories per serving than the amount indicated on the packaging is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.

D. The fact that serving sizes were set during a time when people consumed smaller portions is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.

E. The fact that people consume more calories than they believe they consume because of misleading packaging is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.

The conclusion says something about update/change.
This is only reflected in Option B.
Other options get eliminated easily.
