Which is why dad is on the road to obesity.
Hi, I'm dad. Eating everyone else's food to avoid 'wasting' leftovers is a tough habit to break. Just throw it out if the only reason for eating it is to avoid waste. Stop making so much waste in the first place.
This is a fine habit IF you don't also eat a "normal" amount of your own meals every day.
I deliberately skip breakfast and only take a modest portion of dinner so I can finish things off throughout the day. If I get to bedtime and I haven't eaten enough, I snack to make up the difference.
Ever been told as a kid to finish your food because there's hungry kids in Africa?
Well, this is dad putting his money where his mouth is. If you can't send the food to Africa because it would spoil, and you can't find anyone else around who'd appreciate it (such as a homeless person or an impoverished neighbor), at least you can still avoid letting it go to waste.
As the other guy said, as long as he's not also eating a whole portion of non-leftover food on top of it, there's nothing wrong here. Well done, dad.
