Exactly, it speaks to the same point about overeating my parents brought up when I was young. A lot of families, without questioning it, continue the practice of pressuring children to eat every last scrap on their plate instead of stopping when they're full, which was implemented when their parents or grandparents were dirt poor and the next meal was not a given. That has got to have some strong impacts and the reward and planning centres of the brain in profound ways.
- klipt 6y agoI admit I'm annoyed by adults who don't finish their plate in self serve situations (like some office cafeterias). If they didn't want that much food, why did they take it? I guess it's not that much food waste, but it seems like a tragedy of the commons waiting to happen when the food is marginally free.
