Do you eat your kids leftovers?

[itsraining2024]

Leftover snacks leftover food etc? so as to avoid food waste? Horrible way to put the pounds on which I’ve done. Won’t be doing it anymore…

No. I chuck it in the food waste bin.

I used too but I stopped because I was putting on weight - now DP eats them, he can’t stand waste and will eat them rather than have them go in the bin or to the birds. DP is now putting on weight!

I’ve really never seen the sense in eating food when I’m not hungry, just so it doesn’t go to waste. I see it as just as wasted if I eat it when I wasn’t otherwise going to eat anything.

Eat food that's been left on someone else's plate? Urgh, no thanks. I find the thought of doing that revolting.

The dog enjoys leftovers though, so it doesn't get wasted.

I’d rather waste food

you aren’t a bin

No not once. It’s never crossed my mind.

It's still a waste if someone who doesn't need it or want it eats it.

Stop giving them so much, it’s a waste of food.

Not usually since they are planning/expecting to eat their leftovers. Teenaged DDs cook for themselves and box their leftovers for other meals. Occasionally I have eaten some leftover pizza slices and had a strip torn off me for 'taking their food'! 😂

Yes, but then eat less other food as a result. I don't give them much though so there's never loads.

My son is 2, so I only portion out our main meal to go between 3, the same quantity as I cooked for two adults, so we actually have smaller portions these days.
