I usually eat everything on my plate. Unless its something I dont like or Im full. Then I will through it out. I hardly ever have leftovers.


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

Hi TerryZ! That's good. So am I, unless I really, really find out that the taste of the food is not good as I expect it to be. Anyway, I really don't have leftovers because my husband will surely finish it if ever. LOL!

Oh no I never leave any food in my plate, thats the number one rule of my father since I was akid and until now that I have my own family.
I still remember when I was a kid everytime we sit in the dining table to eat.
My parents always reminds me always get food that I can only eat and don't get too much I can't consumed.
Even now I have my own family I do always remind my daughters about that thing.
If were eating in a resto and there's a food left we take out it and we sometimes give to the children on the street or to the beggars.


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

What a coincidence! We have similar upbringing. My parents always reminded us about the children who die of hunger and how lucky we are for there is food on the table. Such blessings should not be wasted. I took those valuable words in my heart and my brothers and I tell the same thing to the younger generation in our families.


myLot reputation of 96/100. lynboobsy11 (2906)  3 years ago

Thanks,friend for the BR.
Were lucky that are parents
thought about that.

When I was growing up I was from a poor family
My grandmother would say that we ate everything on our plate. If we did not like it we just did not get seconds.
So I am not a fussy eater and I eat what is given me and dont ask for seconds except occasionally when maybe steak or lobster tail. LOL


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

Hi! I admire your grandmother for instilling that kind of discipline. And your wife is very lucky to have you because you are not a fussy eater!LOL. Oh, I am going to have seconds too if there are lobsters on our table. Yummy!


myLot reputation of 97/100. archerzbaby (2539)  9 months ago

I am like this person here... easyliving. I also eat whatever's served on the table for me to eat because for me I always consider it a blessing, no matter how cheap or extravagant the food is on our table. My parents always taught us the value of being able to eat even the cheapest foods several times in a month to let us learn the value of saving money at the same time and realizing that we can't eat expensive kinds of food all the time. And which is, that is really life, reality.

I used to leave food all the time on my plate when I was little because my eyes were too big for my stomach. Now I usually eat all that is on my plate and if I do end up having leftovers I eat it the following day. Can't waste food!


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

You're right about that! Can't waste food either! Especially in our country, there are still so many who eat only once a day or sometimes they don't even eat the whole day, just thinking of them, makes me cherish the blessings I have on my table.

i always leave food on my plate at home or outside..i often can finish my food so most of the time i get what i could just finish..while n restaurants when we cant finish the food and it seems like we didn't even touch it i ask for the waiter to pack it and i will take it home with me..I'm just being practical..i am paying for a food i didn't even touch and just leave it on the table..i would rather have it in my fridge and eat it the other day or if not..i can let my dogs eat it.


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

Can't finish your food? No wonder you are so slim. Anyway, you did right in bringing home your leftovers to be eaten the next day or whatever. I just hope you'll eat more so you will be healthier.:)

It depends and it is not something that happens every time i eat Sometimes i eat everything on my plate and resort to licking other times i return the plate half full I guess it depends on so many factors Thanks for sharing Good Luck


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

Hi vmks31! Yes, no matter how much we wanted not to waste food there are still some factors that enable us not to do so. We just can't sometimes force ourselves in finishing it all up if the stomach can't really take it. Thank you for participating. Have a nice day!

i usually only get what i can finish,but even then
sometimes i'll save some of it.
i do offer some of it to the cats occasionally if they seem truly interested in it,like clam chowder or the like.


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

HI scarlet_woman! Yes you're right, get only what we can finish so there would be no waste. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day!:)

I don't like wasting the food. I try to eat up everything in my bowl. If we eat outside and we can't finish the foods, then we will bring the leftovers to home.


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (8437)  3 years ago

Hi youless! I agree with you. I bring home leftovers too and reheat it if the food is still good.:)
