Almost everyone in the USA will be celebrating thanksgiving tomorrow and for some they will just have enough. Others will have too much and a few might not have any. This prompted me to post about wasting so much food. If you ever go to one of those buffet places, you can see how much people waste as you watch them leave food that they couldn't finish because they took too much. It is also the same for some people who you invite for dinner and they take a lot of food on their first round thinking there won't be any left for them. Most of these people leave food on their plate. I think most of us grew up in a home where you were told to only take what you can finish and if there's still food left on the table, you ask permission to have seconds. Now a days children and adults have a bad habit of not finishing their food on their plate. I believe they have forgotten that saying about thinking of the less fortunate to does not even have three meals a day but maybe just one. So tomorrow when you are having your thanksgiving dinner, start with a small portion and if you are still hungry take another small portion. A lot of restaurants provide such a big portion of their meals that Jeff and I find it best to split a meal. Unless you are dining at a very fancy place where you get a small portion for a higher price, then people seem to finish everything on their plate. Well, that's my take on eating, caring, and just simple etiquette.
