I get very frustrated with the amount of food I have to throw in the garbage so tend to offer very small servings to some of the children, but still I'm giving them a plateful because for example today at lunch we had pork chops, corn, carrots, bread and potatoes. One little girl doesn't like carrots and one little girl doesn't like corn but the boys all had everything. Oy! Then my boy who is the big eater asked for more pork chop and more carrots. I usually eat the leftovers for my lunch so when I cut him off it's because I need a little food! But I serve organic produce and bread products which are very expensive so that's what ticks me off when I have to throw those things in the garbage. Sometimes when a child won't eat their food and I know for sure they haven't touched it or sneezed or coughed on it I give it to the boy who eats a lot.
