But why do we do this?
Is there an Uneaten Food Police? Am I afraid my trash can is going to judge me?
And does this subconscious food guilt have anything to do with my childhood fear of Oscar the Grouch? (Probably.) In this episode, we dig into:✅ The psychological leftovers of being raised to "clean your plate"
✅ The dinner table survival tactics of every 80s/90s kid
✅ How this weird habit ties into business, career moves, and the sunk cost fallacy
✅ The fine art of knowing when to walk away from something that no longer serves you (whether that’s a career, a bad business investment, or that expired ranch dressing in your fridge)
So grab a snack (and maybe hide it in a napkin for old time’s sake), and let’s unpack this nonsense together. 📢 Full Episode Drops Now! Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
