Default Do you waste food?

i wish it was like Singapore, where, in a buffet, they weigh the food
you have not eaten on your plate and make you pay extra proportionally.


That seems like a bad idea: it would encourage overeating, because
if you get too much, it costs money not to eat it.


Overeating isn't really a nice experience. While I do not think that
children should be forced to clear their plate - just being taught
early that they can a 2nd or 3rd helping - a normal adult should take
only on lesson and correct his behaviour accordingly, i.e. walk a 2nd
time to the buffet instead of wasting food from the buffet by piling
on huge helpings w/out eating them.
