quade 4 #2 January 2, 2004 Further . . . I don't know about you, but when I was growing up it was a sin to leave -any- food on your plate. So, however full the plate was, you ate it. After years of conditioning like that, I still find it incredibly difficult to leave even a tiny morsel of food on the plate.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dterrick 0 #3 January 2, 2004 VERY cool article. I read it all. "Supersize, my ass" could also be read "supersize-my-ass" [as in what happens...] Ironic that today I went to Burgular King for lunch feeling "too hungry to eat just the little ramen soup I brought". As easy as it would have been to do the Combo I opted for a whopper jr and teeny weenie fries off the "value menu". It filled my up just fine, thanks, and I didn't fall asleep at my desk in the middle of the afternoon either. [we have a super 'greek style' burger joint within walking distance but a Fat Boy and fries puts me to sleep and I don't feel hungry for 24 hous!] Dave ...slowing my fallrate bit by bit Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #5 January 3, 2004 We had a rule at our house, when I was growing up: If our parents dished our plate up we weren't required to eat it all. They might have misjudged our appetite. However, if we dished our -own- plate, then we HAD to clean our plate or else... (or else we had to eat it at the very next meal until done). Now....if I can't finish what's on my plate, Shimmie delights in a treat! I have -no- problem leaving food...if I'm full, I'm finished. (it just goes in the 'fridge or Shimmie after that). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
