Larlo & Larla only eat organic açai bowls and grilled chicken tendies made with free range, air-cooled chicken tenderloin.

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.
No. That is not a thing. If my kid doesn’t eat the food he is provided, I know it’s on him. I would never think the family did not offer him food, in fact I would have sent snacks so I know if he was hungry he could eat. It would never cross my mind to think more of it.

Maybe he wasn't hungry. Maybe the food wasn't great. Maybe he felt off that day (maybe he gets carsick or something). But regardless, he know how it was going to come across and made a social effort to hide the food you had bought, so you wouldn't be surprised, offended or disappointed.
And yet here you are, being all three. Don't. He's a child. His mother made a totally innocuous remark that you, operating on a hair-trigger, chose to take the wrong way.
Just stop.
Omg, drama queen lmfao. It's weird of an 11yo to ball up food TWICE. Jesus. Just don't order anything the second time if you're not hungry.
This is why I think the tween was rude. It wasn’t once, but twice. It’s weird that some of you think opening a bag is “rummaging”.
Maybe the situation made him anxious, maybe he has an issue with food and didn’t want to bring attention to it. Have some empathy.
This. This could have been me as a kid. I had a lot of anxiety with eating around people, but I wouldn't have wanted to be rude or seem weird if I declined to order something.

Shake Shack and Sweetgreen are top rung fast food to upper middle class strivers. McDonald's is firmly bottom rung. Panera is basically hospital food at this point, although maybe its status is still mid-rung. It's absolutely a status-conscious striver flex to claim your kids are above eating low tier fast food. Strivers are super obsessive in jockeying for status and making it known where their family stands.

This. Leave the kid and his parents alone. He thought he would like the food but he didn’t. Why bring it up to the parent? The stupid arguments about the kid lying he wasn’t fed all day are ridiculous. How would you feel if another parent treated your kid like that?

I have kids, and occasionally we carpool, and I end up with trash in the back of my car. If I saw a balled up fast food bag, I absolutely would not open it up. And the fact that the OP not only opened it up, but pulled apart the ball of food it to see that the child had only taken one bite is disgusting. Who does this?
Yeah, if it was heavy I would be curious and open it! I’m also certain that it was obvious that they only took one bite. She didn’t have to pull apart the food. Did she say that and I missed it?
She said it was balled up. If it’s balled up, how can she tell it was one bite without taking it apart?

I don’t eat this sort of food but isn’t this pretty normal chow for 11 years old on a day trip? Panera turkey and cheese sandwich and McDonald’s breakfast sandwich and hash browns seem inoffensive. Do kids this age like Starbucks food? There aren’t usually much better options off the highway.

You’re seriously upset about two fast food meals and calling it wasted?
Why is everyone in this thread obsessed with money. It's not about the cost. It's about the fact that he wasted food.
I think it’s both. Even if we’re only talking 20 bucks, that’s still $20 on someone else’s kid. But also the awkward or spoiled kid could later lie or insinuate he wasn’t fed all day to his parents, which would ruin the reputation of OP’s family.

The fact that you did not assume positive intent and are so upset about it that you came here to post about it, and double down on your weird beliefs when anyone gives you food for thought just proves that you’re a total cow.
