I have a deeply ingrained resistance to throwing food away thanks to a similarly illogical childhood admonition. I still can't figure out how me stuffing my face makes starvation in China better.

it certainly didn't come from my Mom. she thinks my reading addiction is an aberration. I think it may because we lived so remotely for a lot of my young life that getting my hands on new books was a big deal. my Grandmother was a librarian, but I don't think I ever recall her scolding me for not finishing anything.
