The clean plate club - to join or not to join?

Today I saw a very relevant meme that relates to our discussion yesterday about food and over-consumption of food in our society today. We feel like we have to finish everything on our plates, whether it's because we spent money on it, or because our parents taught us as children to always leave the plate clean. I think that our must-eat-everything mindset is a big part of the obesity epidemic.


This "First World Problems" meme laments that she will have to eat, even when she doesn't want to. How can we combat this problem in America? What will change our mindset about food?
