It could be cultural. Western dining style has individual plates of food preportioned. Eastern dining involves taking food from a communal plate and only as much as you need (family style).Most western kids I know are not encouraged to clean off their plate and are very wasteful. They have no dining discipline. It is however, what they eat. Junk food, fatty foods, processed foods etc, all in large quantities.
