[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say anything but especially when you are the adult in control of her food show her how to enjoy the healthy food and in proportion. I had this problem with a niece but rather than embarrass her or her family when they ate with me I made sure to serve the healthy food. I fixed the plates and I also made sure to run out of food so no seconds (at least the same size would be fixed). I also entertained in a way that food wasn't the focal point, (games, movies or another activity). If she was still "starving" later then her parents could make the conscious decision to feed her. A comedian said "Vegetarians make you have food for them but when you go their house they make you eat their food"[/quote]
