No one should ever have to justify the amount of food they eat. Remember eating disorders are a very real thing and your “wow are you going to eat all that?” could mean they don’t eat for days. Or it could be the first time they’ve eaten all week and you just ruined it.
My grandma will get calls on her home phone while I’m talking to her and hearing her say “can I call you back? I’m talking to my baby on my cell phone.” and it literally melts my heart🥺🥰
