Why should food be any different? (government mandated) Because a little person's stomach and how much it can hold is a very personal matter. Because what one kid wolfs down like it's the best food on earth is the same thing that will make another kid puke EVERY time.

I remember seeing kids puking at the garbage can where hot lunch trays/dishes were handed in, because they were forced to eat everything on the plate and "not WASTE it by throwing it away, uneaten". Well it sure as heck came out as WASTE when they puked it up!! AND they never forgot being humiliated in front of everyone for wretching over a trash can or blurting it onto the tray still on the table.

A stomach is not other people's business.
