Fat Americans... or not

[FAHQTOO]

When I was a kid I accepted my greens and my meat and fresh veg and my piece of fruit for dessert because often times there was fuck all else in the house to eat. My mothers attitude was eat the freshly prepared food I put in front of you or starve, end of story.

Same here OP. If we didn't eat everything on our plate, it got put in the fridge until we did. Nothing else (not that there was) until that plate of food was gone.

I learned NEVER to throw my food away. If we threw our food away and wanted something later, my mom would tell us to go dig our supper out of the trash. ::lmao::

We barely had enough to begin with....throwing food out was like breaking one of the 10 commandments in my house.
