Done it before. There was no reaction, actually..... it was like "oh, you grabbed my boobs. Ok...."
Funny anecdote. So Nathan Lane the actor is really named Joseph Lane, but my great uncle I am named after stage name was Joseph Lane so he didn't use his Jewish last name.
I don't think you should be emotionally manipulating your kids either.
Also, eating all the food on your plate is a dumb habit to instill when American portion sizes are generally larger than they should be.

"it's so fast and convenient, i can't help it"
YOU'RE ON DISABILITY, YOU CAN AFFORD THE MINUTE
almost got you
Clean your plate! Think of the starving children in Africa!
South Africa springs to mind. And even then there are plenty of ramshackle huts and subsistence-level situations.
How to Train Your Dragon was surprisingly great. I expected good, but it exceeded my expectations.
Sorry about your dog, though. *hug hug*

so jealous
Up the ante.
Oh, the one that used to be about Chinese people. I still don't get it. I guess I'm not supposed to?
Yeah. Africa is actually a really nice country.

You're supposed to feel guilty and then stuff your face.
And I find it racist out of ignorance by assuming Africa to be one huge homogenous country.
Cleaning your plate is good - just give smaller portions.
Ohhhh, soap opera. I was about to say, you're getting sudsy on me.

Suppose to guilt you into eating because you can eat it but there are those that can't. Because wasting it is the wrong thing you should do.
That's the responsibility of the parents, not the child, though. The child shouldn't be pressured into eating when he or she is no longer hungry.
I just make food and then walk by homeless people and drop it in the trash "Well children are starving in africa fuck you homeless person you live in america."

I am curious about which African nations are more advanced and which are considered to be in deep trouble.
And so is America.
"What you can suffer is the maximum that can be suffered on earth. If you die of starvation, you will suffer all the starvation there has been or will be. If ten thousand people die with you, their participation in your lot will not make you be ten thousand times more hungry nor multiply your agony ten thousand times. Do not let yourself become overcome by the horrible sum of human sufferings; such a sum does not exist. Neither poverty no pain are cumulative."
it's common knowledge that a plethora of african nations are in squalor and have poor economies, regional conflicts, etc
Hans Rosling has a nice chart with the spread in his TED talk.
This reminded me of stories Organichu has told us about that hippie mother he knows.
Ah yes, Africa City. The Big Pomegranate.
When I was 12, right before I had my appendix taken out (but after my mother made me wait two days to make sure I wasn't 'faking') I was waiting to visit the doctor, hunched completely over in the chair and groaning to myself, when this old nurse comes up to me and says 'Don't be like that, there are kids in Africa worse off than you.' with this sort of condescending smile. I said 'Does knowing that make me feel better?'. He said 'Well, I guess not.' So I responded 'Why the fuck did you tell me then??'. I don't think he was expecting a twiggy little girl to respond that way.

That's exactly what I'm saying. African nations, sure. Africa? No.
This is where someone will tell me to stop sperging within three posts.
and whose fault is that????
He's got like four. Which one?
EDIT: You people know abotu google and his charts...? Hold on a sec.
Couple that with the fact that it actually takes like 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you're full and you end up eating way too much food
Its even better because the reward for cleaning your plate is dessert.
Technically we are two continents.
Special.

So are places in the south, but no one ever says "Eat your beans there are kids dying in alabama."

Better yet, teach them to only take as much food as they think they'll finish. Thereby reducing waste.
