[quote=Anonymous]This is probably an American thing.  I have realized that other people's kids would come to our house for a party, pile up their plates with food and then throw most of it away.

I saw the same behavior when the kids went to their day-care.  Kids would pour out milk in the sink because their teachers told them that if they don't want to drink their milk they need to pour it out in the sink.  They made the kids throw away uneaten lunch in the lunchbox before packing it back in their bags. Just NO.     I told the daycare that I do not want uneaten food to be thrown away. I want to know how much food my kids consume and what they don't like.   Also, only pour milk if they want it, and no more than 2 oz at a time.  Tell them that they will pour more if the kids want it.  Why pour out a full glass of milk?

In my home, when I saw that parents stood around like dumpf oafs watching their kids waste food, I stepped in.  I would say -[i] "In our house, we do not waste food.  If you take food, you have to finish it.  So, I will give you a small sample of anything you want to taste, if you like it, only then I will serve you a small size.  You are allowed to take as many refills as you want, but you have to eat it.  If you love something a lot and would like to take some back home, I will also gladly pack food for you to take home."[/i]

I didn't care what the parents thought about it.  It was not as if there was any reciprocity that I had to worry about it.  I organized, I cooked and I fed them.  I very much was going to  be the hostess who was raised in my non-American culture.  We are generous and hospitable hosts but we do not waste food.
