Parents, Do you make your children finish their plates?

As a child, I was forced to finish my plate every meal, being scolded for 'wasting food'. I didn't know any better, and it soon simply was just the thing I had to do. As I got older, I was simply trained to do that. Before I knew it, I was overweight and struggling to lose it. By the time I was old enough to realize what I was doing wasn't what I was supposed to, there was a lot to work off. You're lucky that your mom didn't MAKE you finish eating. 18/F
