You should never turn your nose up to meals as a house guest. What planet do you live on?

She's texting on her phone during meals. None of this is normal.

Sorry, but what planet DO YOU LIVE on?  First off, just because someone is a guest in your home does not mean YOU have a right to force food down their throat.  Especially if they are from another country.  Not everyone eats American food.  Are you this ignorant?  The world doesn't revolve around America.

Also, you think texting during meals isn't normal now?  LOL, go to a restaurant or any place with groups of people.  EVERYONE is on their phone.  Not saying this is a good thing, just pointing out being on the phone is very much the norm these days.  While I agree this is not a very grateful guest, you cannot push what you want onto her.  If she doesn't want your food, let her buy or cook her own food.  If she doesn't want to go to the beach, that's her choice.  Now, I will say being too loud and not being aware of your family's schedule is on her.  BUT, it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to lay down the rules prior to permitting someone into your home.[/quote]

When in a foreign country you are invited to a home of someone outside your culture, you temporarily accept their culture. OP is right, you don't turn your nose up to food served to you. 
I was invited to a home in Mongolia and as a guest of honor was served a sheep head boiled whole - yes, sir, with ears, eyes, tong, lips, brain, teeth and the rest. And the smell! . And was expected to eat it, and I did - family got up with a brisk of dawn to slaughter poor animal that did not need to die for me and to cook gasilion of other dishes besides meat. 
I thought I will pass out during my meal but fought it off. 
Family was extremely gracious and nice, I really enjoyed been around them. They cleaned up everything after the slaughter because they heard that Europeans and city folks in general are sensitive about blood and everything - that along worth a world. 
I would be grateful for a smoothie or would agree to starve if it was an option. 
Don't like other cultures - stay in hotels.
