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.
