Eating One Thing at a Time

[JurisDictum]

In the old days, people mixed their food. They collected everything there was to eat and mixed it together for meals. But IDK if you eat the various portions one at a time it makes much difference health-wise...as long as you eat all the various portions within a 20 minute window or so.

One of the various step dads I had in my life was big on this idea of eating one bite of every portion clockwise around your plate. He was very particular about how people eat. He allowed me to eat all my vegetables at once though because I didn't like them and wanted to get it over with first.

I always eat all my vegetables and got dessert. My brother around my age, always refused and sat at the table for hours sulking. When my mom came home from work and caught my stepdad trying to force a spoon of spinach in my brothers mouth -- she put a stop to all that. She was only with him like 5 minutes.
