[QUOTE="DDD, post: 594797, member: 35"] I haven't been there done that with parents but from friends and acquaintances I "think" that childlike portions are the most popular. If she has a "Royal Castle" sized hamburger cut in half on her plate the chances are she will finish it and IF she feels hunry will ask for more. I am only 72 but I can attest to the fact that "wasting food" was a hug Bozo No No for those who lived thru WWII and certainly those who lived thru the Great Depression. As a child in the 40's I heard "very" often about the "starving people around the world" etc. etc. etc. My generation was influenced by the very generation that she was a part of AND it really was a moral issue. Wasting food was almost as bad as having sex before marriage. Seriously, I think small portions is the way to go....and high calorie treats are good too. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
