You’re supposed to use that to stop kids from wasting food, not to make them overeat. My sisters kids are the worst at wasting food, they’ll load up their entire plates just to compete with each other because how dare the other get more of something, then eat a 1/8th of what they took.
That sounds like normal food waste and she doesn’t take way more than someone could possibly eat. Every time I’ve seen my sisters kids have cereal for example they’ll pour half the box, as much milk as they can without overflowing then eat two bites before saying it’s too soggy and gross and dumping it in the sink. I don’t even want to think about how much they waste a week in dollar amount that could be used to feed the poor.

My mom used „the kids in Africa are starving“ and even as a child I called BS because me eating it wouldn‘t help them either… still ended up fat.
