Since long I really hate someone not finishing their food. For instance going out with girl who trying to look cute (it's kind a trend here, like girl don't want to picture themselves as big eater) by eating half portion really put me off, all the animal life that died for that plate just get wasted, what a tragedy!.
And one of my son now entering 2 years old, he really loves to say no recently. So when we want him to finish his food, he just play around, eat some, and left, it's really hard to beg him to eat more, it's like we doing this favor for him. Glad there are stray cats around, some of the meat and fish, or chicken or whatever left over we can feed it to the cats, and they are so grateful about that.
But this morning, it's just the last straw. During breakfast, after playing with his food and smiling and talking around while we are eating breakfast, he push his plate to the floor and mess up all the food and break the plate also (hence I cannot give that food to the cat right now). Think about it, the animal literally die so we can have them in our plate, ever bite of it I really think we should respect it, if I cannot finish my food, at least I finish all the flesh that is served in my plate, honoring their sacrificial death.
When that happened I scream inside me. I'm trying to control myself, and I ask him to go to his room, and I said there will be no food for him until next lunch, and I told my wife please eat around 3 pm today so he can appreciate the food better. Now they are in the library, and my wife called me saying that he is so hungry, he beg for food, when she rejected him he said he want to talk to me talking about the food, I feel so happy inside, I told my wife don't gives or buy him any food, he deserves that, he need to wait until the time when everybody eating together.
I should already do this like a month ago. Uff.. after typing this I feel extra relieved.
