[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care how you were raised, I can't imagine gobbling up all of dinner knowing that my teen is going to be hungry when he gets home. [/quote] Yeah, I mean, don't you make enough food for 4 (or whatever number of people)? And so if the 3 people at home eat the food for 4, aren't they overeating? That sounds greedy. [/quote] I do think this is, at least partly, a family size thing. I have 4 kids, including 2 teens. If I make enough food for 6 of us, 5 people can eat all of it pretty easily. [/quote] I guess I don't understand why you think a 5-person meal is "enough for six." Why not just make enough for 6 people to eat until they're full? [/quote] Spoken like someone who does not have teen boys. They don’t get full. They could always eat another chicken breast (though vegetables sometimes get left over). If I want to save a helping I pre-remove it before serving. [/quote] +1 Teen girls too. Mine is a serious athlete and could sit there inhaling a third or fourth chicken breast along with a mountain of whatever else we have. I also save someone a meal before putting out the rest or else it's gone.[/quote]
