The trouble we run into is if you try to call their bluff and make them wait it out until they are actually hungry, suddenly it's bedtime and you have a kid who won't go to sleep because they didn't eat anything, and it stops being their problem and turns into a massive inconvenience for you.
But probably the better idea would just be for us to ration snacks more closely throughout the middle of the day.

My wife has a soft spot,so any cries would make her surrender in a second,so it's very easy for our daughter to just walk away from a really nice meal because it's not ' what she likes' and then keep coming back for all sorts of snacks or the food she really likes.
