re: Do you finish your plate?

Being poor growing up meant you ate what was in front of you. I’ve learned to order what I can eat, no more.

Same here. You didn't throw food away or get leftovers in a single parent home with three boys.

At a restaurant do you finish your entree even though you're completely full?

No; doggie bag for me

Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. When I’m full I’m full. I’ll get a to go box and have it later.

I only feel obligated to eat every last speck if it's a really expensive place.

I definitely agree it’s overpriced but it’s still good

Take all you want. Eat all you take.

Since I been losing weight, I make an effort NOT to finish my plate. Those portions are almost always way more than you should be eating in one sitting

But, no I don't eat just for the sake of eating if I'm no longer hungry.

You get it. Most people think they should eat until they’re “full.” The healthy person eats until he is no longer hungry. There is a big difference between the two.

If I want to.

Wild how not wasting food when there’s millions around the world starving is considered trashy.

This dumb shite right here is why we are the fattest fricking country in the history of mankind. First off, there arent millions of fricking people starving you dumb frick. And if there was, you eating more food doesnt do shite to solve that.

Almost everyone in this country grows up hearing about the idea of making a "happy plate" and "think about the starving kids in africa" and "are you not gonna finish that" bullshite from our parents and friends. Everyone of us has heard that at some point in our lives. That is called food shaming. We are all taught to eat until we can no longer stuff another piece of food in our mouths.

frick those starving kids in africa and frick your happy plate. Next time you are trying to finish your plate, think of all the fatasses in an early grave.
