It's a sad sight. I've always been taught to only take as much as i can eat, and to clean my plate, and I stick to it. And i'm still 6'2 and 160 pounds, heh.

on the wasted food. My wife works for a university caterer; they recently had a basketball camp of teenagers. She said it was staggering the amount of food that was thrown away. Hundreds of gallons of milk, still cold, getting poured down the drain. Just like you said, Steel, numerous plates and only 1/2 eaten.
