    The idea could be perfectly cute, and I feel like it would have been so easy to not make it “shame-y”.

    Like, “just a nibble”, "pretty good!”, “yum!” and “my favorite”. “I couldn’t possibly…”, “if you insist”, and “thanks Grandma”.

        I briefly looked into how you make a food safe painted plate at home and the answer seems to be “easy if you have a kiln”.
        You might be able to find a paint your own pottery store near you. I went to one with some friends and it was a lot of fun and I got a colorful owl coin bank for like, $10 or something. Just have to make sure it’s food safe, but they usually coat everything in a glass food safe glaze so it should be.

        Unrelated, weed is legal where I live, so when I checked the website for the place I went, it had big banners for “summer kids clay classes!” And “pot-tery for adults!” right next to each other.
        It totally makes sense but part of me is still startled by tangential consequences of legalization.

    These are not a good way to track how much you eat, get a calorie & nutrition tracking app

      I do not enjoy the mental image it gave me, I hate it and its even worser that the babies are laughing in my mental image

        I mean I guess but I’m not too keen on the idea of needing a plate to tell me how much to eat.

          I get your point, just know that there is other more purpose designed plates which can help people get an idea of the right portion sizes. The picture here has it photoshopped on but I’ve seen plates with this printed on and it seemed helpful

      I really like the tradition some countries have where the plate is a flatbread or pancake of some sort.

        Won’t those get really soggy and fall to pieces in a washing machine?

    It’s it the dream of every little girl to become a mother? Now you know how!

      I feel like there’s a toxic body image/patriarchal component to only eating the large portion once you are a mother/soon to be a mother. Something about “letting yourself go” or something terrible like that
