RE: The Eternal Cycle of Eating and Being Eaten:
I also learnt from my grandparents that food should not be wasted. I still do to this day! And your dishes look so appetising... ;-))
But to answer one of your questions: I don't think it's ungrateful at all to reject or refuse food. For one thing, not everyone has to like everything (I don't like yoghurt or quark, for example...) and besides, you shouldn't force yourself to eat anyway. Almost full is much better than overeating ;-))
Yes, I have mentioned it in my post:
I agree.
I also am not fond of quite a few things. But having said that, being the one preparing and managing food for the family now, I get quite irritated if they can't seem to have common liking...
So I try to blackmail them into eating whatever I have prepared. Of course I take care of their preferences. So yeah ;)
The blackmail seldom works. Most of the time they manipulate me into making something else for them. Not that I mind too much. But then it's toast and cheese or toast with chocolate spread! Not a whole new meal :)
My middle son went through a phase where the food on his plate was only allowed to be one colour. So one day only green (that was comparatively easy), then one day only white (easy) or only blue (hungry to bed...)
Perfect solution 😜
