We buy two containers of this specific pasta salad each WF shopping trip. It's lasts about 4-6 days because the rest of us just take a little bit as a side item for lunch or maybe a snack. It seems at the very least uncivilized to hoover an entire container. Even if he's hungry, it's overboard, right?

You seem like you're desperate for this to be a problem, but it's a normal amount for a teenage boy to eat.

Right!

Your son is normal. Feed him more food. Tve diet of an adult woman is way different from a teen boy. They eat a lot of food because they are growing.

Stop passing on your food issues.

Teen girls don't eat like this either. Neither does my middle aged husband. OP's son should learn how to cook and prepare food if he needs to eat that much. Eating expensive prepared food that is for everyone is not okay.

Is this a joke?

This entire thread is an f’ing joke

Not at all. My teen daughters and 45 year old husband eat normal portions.

I mean is it a joke that you think the fact that your teenage girls and middle aged husband don’t eat like a teenage boy is some sort of revelation?

Does the word duh mean anything to you?

I think I posted about this last week. Why is this convo still happening? Feed the teen more. Yes mine could eat a few meals sometimes.

NP. Love leftover lasagna but with two teens it doesn’t last long in my house.

Teenage boys eat a lot while they are growing. Please have nutritious food that is easy for him to snack on OP. Cheese? Lasagna? Fruit? Homemade pasta salad with cheese?

I’m female and as a teen I recall eating entire pizzas, 8 tacos from Taco Bell, 5 bagels in a sitting, entire entenmanns pastry…

I was 120 lbs but lifted weights 5 days a week and ran long distance. Some people just need a lot of calories.

Their containers are not that large.

My daughter ate WAY more as a teen than my DS did. And I eat more than my middle aged husband who weighs 100 pounds more than I do. I could totally polish off a random pound of pasta (although i think WF pasta salad is gross).

If this was the biggest problem that I could post about the challenges of raising my teen boy, I would be so happy.

We started marking food in the fridge with tape when our teenage son needs to leave it alone. If it has tape on it, he can only take one small serving. A year in and so far, this is working.

You shop at WF, you have money. Why not buy enough to satisfy the family. Posts like this show how messed up some people are around food.

I can't tell if you all are just being mean just for sport. You think we should just add 7x 1lb $11.99 each large containers of WF smoked mozz pasta salad to the shopping list so a 13 year old boy can binge eat one before bed every night? This is extremely indulgent and rude to the rest of the family.

Are you a troll? Either make it yourself for less, buy something else, or tell him to eat something else. Both the hunger and focus on self is developmentally appropriate.

Ha, this. The petty posts by OP and a number of PPs are amusing though.

Yes, but not normal for one person to eat an entire container of something others may want too - he can have some pasta salad, some fruit, some ice cream, a sandwich, etc. to make a complete snack and still share with others.

This is so bizarre. Just buy more food.
