      "Make sure your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach" is the idiom I would like to share with this week's lesson. It is a saying I heard many times growing up; especially when our family of six went out to dinner (which didn't happen a whole lot). I know this was mainly to remind us as children that we shouldn't waste food, let alone pay for food and then not eat it. This idiom is reminding the person to only take what food they think they are capable of finishing. People tend to go overboard by piling up the food on their plate because they are so hungry at the time and they THINK they can order one of each item off the menu. Once they begin eating, their stomach becomes full but their plate is not empty. This is also a common occurence found at restaraunts that serve buffets; there are no limits or portion control signs warning people to stop placing food on their plate. I find it is a good idiom and reminds people not to be wasteful especially with food. To this day, I use this idiom with our son.

    This is very good idiom and also quite current. I think it is a little bit sick that we in Western wellfare societes can throw very much food in carbage and same time other people are dying in hunger.
