Should we stop forcing kids to clear their plates?

Experts think it might be fuelling the obesity crisis by encouraging them to eat too much.

Do you agree?

No it’s called being grateful for what we have and how lucky we are we can eat out of a plate! It’s simple put less on plates and teach kids the value of food and etiquette in eating!

Exactly! If they don’t eat it all start giving them a smaller portion. Also, give them healthy food. It’s not rocket science.

Sometimes people just make it difficult for themselves

And by the way. . it's about quality over quantity. Highly processed foods and sugary drinks and sweets eaten daily is obviously gonna cause obesity. 🤷

What a ludicrous argument. Simply put enough on their plate that you know they can finish. This idea of leaving food on the plate when food wastage is a problem does not make sense. They can't eat too much if the portion on the plate is just right for their age and dietary requirements. 🤦

Put the right amount on the kids plate, or even a little bit less, that way they will eat it all, and if ghe need more….fruit. Simple
