My parents had a simple rule they instituted after our food fights: You can eat what is on the table or go hungry - obviously if there was only 4 of some kind, I would only get to eat one.

That means that if I didn't care about a particular kind of food I didn't have too eat it, but on the other hand I wouldn't eat junk because it wasn't served.

The problem with eating everything that is on your plate is that it steams from a time when you could actually risk not being able to afford food tomorrow - today it just causes overeating.
