As a kid it always used to enrage me when my grandparents would force me to eat everything on the plate and punish me for not doing so. Like, I'm full? Just because you don't think I "should" be, who the fuck do you think you are to determine if I'm satiated or not?
Completely mind-boggling that people would force their family to eat things against their will. My grandma was a fatass too, surprise.

When I was a kid, being told to finish my plate meant eat all the foods on it, not just my favorites. No one ever tried to force me to eat when I was full. I think fats just want everyone to suffer with them so they take good advice out of context. Make sure your kid eats their vegetables turns into make sure your kid eats enough to make you feel like less of a glutton.

This is very, very sadly a common mindset in a lot of hispanic homes. They have the whole "Eat your entire plate, even if you are full" mindset. I never understood it, but that's what I grew up with and so did my friends/neighbors and classmates. It wasn't until I turned 17 and moved out and paid for my own food was when I taught myself portion control and not to eat when I wasn't hungry.
It's bullshit. And parents who do this to their kids at a young age are truly evil.
