I have seen some people are get annoyed on food and they leave it in plate and stand up and not eat it goes from there. If they dont like food or any mistakes in food like not spicy or if any family members are telling wait for sometime now meals are not prepare etc. then they tell to his wife or mother I dont want to eat such type of food and I am going..
I think this is not good habit and I heard when we take the name of eating then never go to any place without eating otherwise it may be harmful for us.. because generally when accident arise then the mother said ohhh my child was telling me give me foods but I was unable to give it because he/she dont wants to wait for meals etc..
This is on good habit leave the food due to anger...What you think share your view with Fanta!!! My eating sessions will be continue will whole week..

Hi fanta,
Food is not the right place to sprinkle the anger. However, it is true that many people have the habit of showing their anger on food and gave up the eating (sometimes in the middle). For me, I can’t tolerate my hunger. Angry is different and my hungry too. I don’t want to mingle with both and spoil my health (lol). If I am anger on anybody why should I punish my stomach? Don’t you agree with me?
Now the serious part, since childhood I learnt that food is equal to God and we should respect food in the same manner. Our parents taught us, if you are eating and anybody calls or enters (especially elders) in the room you don’t want to get up because the food in front of you deserves more respect.

Hi fanta!
You have raised a very interesting point. It is really disgusting if someone does not take his/her meal and disappears, specially when the meal has already been served because s/he is annoyed with someone or on some issue. I think some parents need to take the blame for this kind of habit in their children. Some children blackmail their parents that they won't have a particular dish in their meal and if it is not served, they will not consume the food. Parents out of affection and other reasons always keep pampering them and keep serving them food of their choice and spoil their habits. As far as I am concerned, even if I have a tiff with my better half or with any person, I normally do not ignore my meals and take it because I know there is no sanity in wasting cooked food. I believe that we not taking food will not solve the issue. If my better half has to argue or fight with me on an issue, she would serve me food and once I have consumed it, she will start the arguments because she knows it that if she argues before I take food, I may delay my meals or may not take it all.

I always give due respect to food because I know it is hard earned and everything comes at a price.
If any day we happen to meet and you are going to serve me food cooked with your hands, I will finish it off and I promise, I will not leave anything in the plate, irrespective of the type of dishes, which you would serve me.

Yes it is a bad habit, and as a child I was often forced and told that when I was angry and refused to eat that it was the biggest sin. I was told and reminded of the number of hungry people in the world who would so appreciate my meal and that I was fortunate to have. So yes we must not sit at our table in anger and enjoy our meals.

hi HWG but some parents would make their child stay at the table all day til he or she ate the food he or she disliked. to this day I hate yellow sour bitter grapefruit as my dad tried to force me to eat it when it hurt my tummy . I was six years old so sat there til noon an my mom finally took the grapefruit away and put a empty
half shell of grapefruit on my plate so my dad told my mom she should feed me. I never did this to my children. We all have some foods we cannot tolerate and I think this should be not be forced on a small child. let them leave that food. If they are hungry they will eat it later. to fight with children over food is horrid. Just put it on their plates, let them eat what they will then leave. I know my own parents always gave me more food at a meal than I could possibly eat. Children have smaller tummies than adults.Parents often misjudge how much a child will eat. lol lol lol

Yes I agree and I never forced my own children to eat and or stay at the table. I am more referring to that while as a child I use to get upset with the guardians abut other things then I refused to eat. So they would force me saying it was a sin to be mad at the food. While I never forgot how I sat at that table for hours on end, I could not imagine doing the same to my kids.
If they were upset about anything and appeared to be taking it out on the food, I would simply explain that lots of children go to bed with empty tummies so they should not take it out on the food. Thankfully my kids had good appetites and never stayed upset for too long and eat to their hearts content. lol

You are right dancing baby it is bad habit and many people are hunger in the world and if we are saying our child in good manner then they understand annoyed on food is not good but madam you are right some parents forced the children to eat it even they not like this is not good..because we should care about like and dislike of our child.. but annoying is not good way..

Its better be angry with anything else but not food. One should not lay his/her anger on food, such kind of people have never experienced hunger in any way in their life, they only see food as a must have no matter what, maybe they lack knowledge about these.
People should know food is not something to play with, throwing away food because of dislike is not good either because there are so many people out there who need those small pieces but they can not find any.

oh i think that is a bad habit, you never turn away from food, never leave it untouched and unfinished even especially if it was served for you, or if it was you who actually got them in the first place.
this has been our practice at home and my mom has absolutely not let us off the table if we'd leave something in there that is still a meal. so even t this day, we'd only get what we can finish eating.
I do not think that we should be wasting food and not wanting to wait is not an excust either. its either you wait or don't eat.. why go outside to eat, they will let you wait also! haha

Hi fantabulus no its a really bad habit as anger will upset
your digestive system and going without eating just will make
you even hungrier when you do eat.also its really rude to rebel
and not want something your mom went to a lot of trouble to
prepare. At least on should be polite enough to eat some
of whatever she fixed to be polite.But really if there is something you cannot eat tell who ever fixed the meal to
substitute something else then be sure to eat all of it too

Hatley, i agreed that it is really not good habit to feel anger while on the table. If there is anything that we don't like to eat, we can always inform our mother or whoever fix the meal. I ask my son to always inform me whatever food that he don't want to eat. So, now i only prepare food that he loves to eat but only he need to eat some veggies with his meal.

As for me, i think this is not a good habit. Even i had taught my son as always to said no, if he don't want to eat certain food. At least, i won't prepare it for him in the future. When i was young, my parents always informed us, not to take whatever food that we don't enjoy eating. At least, we don't waste that food. I pity one of my classmates who always gets spank for not eating finish her food. Luckily my parents is not that type of people.

Wasting food or throwing away food in between meals is not only bad table manners but also insult to the food. Like sreekala has mentioned we are taught from childhood that food is god and we should respect it.The best punishment for a person who leaves food during meals is to keep him/her hungry for the next day which can be a lesson not to waste or leave food. Whenever i get angry i starve myself and do not waste food. Happy mylotting.

It's not a good habit. Food are blessing and we should be thankful that we have something to eat. Think about the people who experience famine and drought that they are forced to eat whatever they can in order to survive. If the cooking was bad or not to your taste, then maybe you should tell whoever is doing the cooking to adjust the taste to suit your preference. Bear in mind though that people have different preferences in food taste too and respect their choice. Otherwise, cook the food yourself.

Hi fanta, it is not a good habbit to leave the meal because you dont like the food or get annoyed during meal time. In my family we are raised to be grateful of what we eat because there are so many people out there who dont even have food to eat, Im happy with any kind of food and I dont throw my food, I eat the food and not waste it. We must think of the people who is starving, dying from hunger, what if we were at their situation where we want and need to eat but we dont have food.

Well personally there have been times I have been disappointed with the food I am being served, and have not wanted to eat it. Sometimes I will even leave more food on my plate due to that as well. I know when in a Restaurant and it is not satifactory I have made complaints right away and if they are not able to fix it have then requested my money back. I think more people just need to quit being afraid to let people know when there is a problem to allow the people or restaurant to want to fix things instead of just leaving the food, and walking away.

I never ever go to the meal table angry nor even leave it angry.
I always remember that whatever are there on the table for everybody to partake is a grace from God. Whatever anger that you may have , leave it for another time, not on the eating table where everybody is to partake of the meal.

Yes I think that if we our mom husband or whoever person take the time to cook for us the least we can do is eat it.
My son is peaky to eat and I always tell him that we have to learn to eat everything, because even the prince are taught to eat all kind of food because they have to travel to a lot of places with different kind of culture, there are countries where they eat, horse meat, or snake or a lot of things that we wouldn't imagine and that would look bad in front of the host country if the prince doesn't eat that, if they lean to eat all kind of food we have to learn to.
For example me, I don't like to eat meat and when my husband is going to take to a family to eat I ask him please don't tell them that I don't eat meat because they will feel that they will have to add another different plate for me, because even thought I don't eat meat I will find the way to eat something and don't make the family feel bad because I didn't.
It is very disrespectful for me go to the table to eat and not eat.
I always tell my son in order he eats that my food has and special ingredient and he says "which one"?" and I say "love".
