#26: Are You Going to Eat That?
Mama always said, “Don’t leave the table until your plate is clean.” That means you eat the dish in front of you because you aren’t going to be offered another one. If you left that table with food on your plate, you would be hungry until the next meal.
People on TV must not have received the same memo about not wasting food. All too often, it seems gatherings take place where a ton of food is served, but it is never enjoyed. It is honestly a travesty to see all that delicious food go to waste. (I hope they came back with to-go boxes off-screen.)
