    Not if Dad has anything to say about. He will eat pasta marinara, rice and beans and country steak for dinner so the fridge can be cleared. 🫡

      I hate waste. And I’m willing to put my mouth where my mouth is, even if that means I’m having half a breakfast burrito, a bowl of chili, sliced peaches, yellow curry, and microwaved fajita veggies for dinner.

      Which is why dad is on the road to obesity.

      Hi, I’m dad. Eating everyone else’s food to avoid ‘wasting’ leftovers is a tough habit to break. Just throw it out if the only reason for eating it is to avoid waste. Stop making so much waste in the first place.

        This is a fine habit IF you don’t also eat a “normal” amount of your own meals every day.

        I deliberately skip breakfast and only take a modest portion of dinner so I can finish things off throughout the day. If I get to bedtime and I haven’t eaten enough, I snack to make up the difference.
