Why do some begin eating before all are served.?

Ettiquette just is not taught anymore.  The parents are not doing their job in raising their children on how to act in public.  Then when they are adults, they don't know how to teach their kids.  It's a vicious cycle.  One that I doubt ends any time soon.  So sad.

Kids are whiners at the dinner table.\n\nI should know, I'm a waiter. Usually they have to get their food first, fastest, even if the adults haven't eaten.\n\nAlso, on the other side, older people don't eat at all. They never order dessert. They only want to eat cheap sandwiches or soups or small salada. I can wait on a party of 50 old people, tack on 20% to their bill, and still make only 2 bucks when they hobble out.

It's funny I ran across this question. This has been an "issue" in our house with my brother. Actually, it's not really an issue. It's fun to talk and laugh about it. ..and he doesn't care. I think he does it in public.. i think it's an instinct for him. He will not stop. And when he does try to eat the proper way for us it looks funny, as if he's almost making fun of us proper-eaters.\n\nI think it would be a good thing for you to at least try to eat the proper way if you are in public or have guests over.

Bring it to their attention, but be very polite. Anyone handling your food you don't want to tick off.

sometimes it happens toward the end of pregnancy or after delivery but before starting to feed.\n\notherwise there could be an endocrine abnormality.

It's not wrong. It's impolite. It's very disturbing and annoying to those around you. Not to mention it makes you look as if you've never had a decent meal before. Practicing proper eating habits is simply good manners.

They act before they think.  We all do it.

Because sometimes you physically can't eat anymore for whatever reason, and have to stop! But otherwise, I refer the 'pop' to be like...starting eating. Because I can never open a tub and stop halfway. =)

depends on the restaurant.  from what i've seen, they go by business.  they schedule heavier leading up to and during mealtimes to have enough people taking care of the customers.  some might start before others, so they might have some come in at 2 oclock and others at 4.  also, many restaurants have part time people that may only work for 4-5 hours a day.

They must be grabbing something to eat first.  I don't watch much tv.

Good point! Excessively obese people seem to be the ones striking against hunger. LOL!

they think you have  an eating disorder or  diet obsessed generally if you dont eat. Some  might get grossed out if  you  pigged  out and  ate more than them, others might think it was cool . If they go out to  dinner with you,  they brought you  out to dine with them,  something they usually love  to  do EAT! they want you to enjoy it with them not watch them as you poke at a house salad and diet coke. If you  date a guy for a while  it becomes easier to just go out like you normally would with a friend.

Because so many people are so busy running around with jobs,activities,etc-we don't take the time to prepare healthy meals. Slow down and take time to have family meals somewhere besides fast food restaurants-So many problems could be solved by this including obesity,dysfunctional families-People are just too hung up on trying to do too much

Funny, good question. I guess they don't eat or drink for a while before the race. If it were me, I'd loose for sure.
