Wow. I'm kinda speechless.
...
I hate to bring up "starving children in China/Bangledesh/etc." and I don't wave that in front of my family much, but ... yeah. Teaching your children to value real food and not waste it seems like a basic part of parenting. "Value what you have" seems like a fundamental part of being a good person.
(We had massive flooding in our town a few months after we'd gotten back from visiting friends in South Africa. They emailed to see if we were OK, and my response included "are you kidding me? We've got clean water coming out of the taps, a warm place to live with a roof over our heads, and all our stuff is fine. There's water drying out of the crawl space, and we'll have to replace the water heater and furnace, but we're a million times better off then all the folks living in townships." And I meant it -- we were inconvenienced slightly, but still better off then 95% of the world's population. )
