I’ve offered chicken nuggets, Doritos, apples, cheese sticks, applesauce, yogurt… I’ve even asked the mom in advance what I should buy.
Id never say this in real life but it does make me grateful for my kids. They eat what’s on their plate and don’t comment on food they dislike. They always eat any vegetable on their plate in full.
I’ve noticed similar behavior of friends of my child on adhd meds

I want to know if my kid was eating or not on a long day trip. If you don't point it out, such a boy will most likely tell his parents he's starving and wasn't fed all day. His parents will never circle back to verify, so OP's family forever looks trashy, cheap, and negligent.
The kid is 11, not 5. OP could casually mention they stopped for food if she was actually worried about this. But I don’t think she was worried about the tween claiming he wasn’t fed. She was obsessed with “wasting” fast food.
Np. Lots of us were raised to not waste food. I’m middle class too and never had food insecurity. At home we didn’t throw out leftovers.
That’s at home. I don’t know anybody that reheats McDonalds after it has sat in a car for 2 hours while the kid is at practice. Gross. And harbors bacteria.
If we don’t finish our take out, we save it and reheat later. But definitely not if it’s been sitting out for 2 hours.

If you ever buy kid food again tell him if he decides not to eat it, please just save it and you will take care of it.

I think it’s ok if the guest doesn’t like the food, but at least not to play with food. It’s rude the parent doesn’t seem to educate their kids to appreciate and have basic manner.

“American gluttony”?! 😂
OK, forget all the other non-American countries where kids eat breakfast lunch and dinners- everyday!

Has anyone asked OP precisely what she said to the mom? Please tell us OP. I can't really interpret the other mom's response without knowing what you said...

I have lived in 5 countries, including America. In all of those countries. children whose families had the resources to feed them, ate multiple times a day. Breakfast and lunch are not uniquely American concepts.

“Such a boy.” Wow, you really hate this kid. Bizarre
