[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interested in knowing whether this is a cultural thing among some white people. We are not white and our families keep feeding and feeding and feeding us and their guests.  It would be devestatingly rude for someone to be hungry in their homes.

However, I do tell my own young kids “last call” at dinner time only, because otherwise they suddenly decide they are hungry at bedtime as a stalling technique.[/quote]

[b]Some white people maybe.  [/b]My mom will make ten times the amount of food needed for any type of guest.  The biggest problem with being her guest is trying to leave without being overfull.  [/quote]

I found this to be true. The "whiter" you are, the bigger your control issues are around eating, or other people eating, for that matter.  My really, really white (almost translucent LOL) MIL insists on making less food than needed, it has spilled over to DH - even when we buy more than enough food for guests or holidays, he refuses to serve all of it, even though it is too much for our nuclear family to eat by ourselves.  I am sure there is a term for this, but it is effed up.[/quote]
Are you equating whiter with economic status or with actual color of skin? If with actually translucent skin, that is truly some far fetched mind set on your part. I am as white as it gets, translucent and Eastern European and apart from that weird aunt, I cook like nuts, serve food like nuts as does all of my family. And I know plenty of blonde, pale people who are heavy. What do you mean by the "whiter" you are?[/quote]
