[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell that to a parent whose child has Failure to Thrive. Tell that to my mother who was severely malnourished and underweight until she went to college, as she grew up with that kind of thinking ("if she's hungry enough she'll eat.") It is not a humane way to be treated. Would you like to be served something you hate day in and day out because your husband, or mother, or caretaker when you're elderly and infirm thinks you SHOULD eat it? Children are human beings too. I said it before, I'm not a short order cook, there is always a mix of liked, so-so, and new foods on a plate to choose from, but it is reprehensible to send a child to bed hungry because they wouldn't eat something you know they don't like.[/quote]
Your being ridiculous. It's ok to be hungry . Especially if you have food available to your. Hunger is a choice at least in this situation [/quote]

It's "you're" and I am certainly not. My 5'5" mother weighed under 100 pounds when she finally moved out of my grandmother's house and was allowed to select her own food. She was literally starving for her entire childhood because her mother believed like you.

What's something you hate? Let's say you don't much care for meat, not for ethical reasons, just not a fan. Say you're 85 and in assisted living and no, you can't have eggs or cheese or tofu, meat comes on your plate every night whether you want it or not, and that's where you're expected to get your protein. You honestly believe that's a humane way to treat people who can't provide food for themselves?[/quote]
Yes I do. We as humans have too much choice. It's unnecessary. Your mother made the choice to starve. If she was provided with enough food that is  and she herself decided to not eat it. Food insecurity is another issue.
