“I just dish” | “I can’t explain why I put these quantities on the plate. “Honestly I don’t know, I have no idea. I dish, I think to myself, a little bit of everything and that’s it…I just dish.” “It’s guesswork.” |
The size of the plate | “I would say that we think that he should be able to eat the amount of a small plate.” “Let’s say that we put children’s portions, to fit their plates.” |
