Exactly... Why intentionally waste food...?   Of course, the proverbial
use of the starving children is to shame kids into finishing what
someone else has set before them... not quite the same, either...  But
encouraging kids to only take what they will eat does help to develop
that inner feeling of not wanting to waste...

Much too well provisioned to be able to do much experimenting on your
own...  unless things can freeze well, and be there for the family when
they return...?
