All you can eat doesn't mean all you should eat

Right? My parents would place one thin slice of ham - ONE - on a slice of bread with a thin slice of cheese. They were horrified by what we call "subs" here with multiple layers of cold cuts. "Everything in moderation" was my parents' constant mantra, from food to work to leisure fun. We Amercians hate moderation - lol.

I think the big thing is that it's not considered rude to not finish one's meal. In fact that's a much healthier than being expected to force down more food just because it's still on the plate.
