And many times I'd end up being forced to sit there and try and eat something I didn't want to eat until I vomited, at which point I'd be allowed to go, which just seemed really pointless to me because of
I'd rather eat something and then leave than eat some things I'm not going to finish, vomit and have eaten nothing for lunch.
But apparently that was more wasteful to them.
So anyway, I had some like food based trauma in my life for quite a few years in between being a five year old and a 10 year old until I left the school.
This was the 90s?
It's the boarding school and the religious link.
There was just something about waste and stuff.
They just sort of feel like you had to, I don't know, button up your bootstraps and deal with eating, which didn't seem to make much sense to me, if someone's clearly got a problem.

Some teachers were more lenient about it, but...
nearly all of them felt like it was just a policy like children had to learn how to finish their food like my nan was really anti-waste but she was very good at just not giving me things i didn't want to eat and she spent a lot of time trying to find out what i wanted to eat for example and she also she wouldn't let you drink any water with your food or because you think it would make you full and you wouldn't eat enough so you weren't allowed to drink for half a night before you ate anything
Other than like a teacher would sit with me and I wouldn't be allowed to leave until I like, they would just be like, here's your sprout.

And I'd have finished everything else on my plate.
I just wouldn't be allowed to leave the dining room.
Okay, I guess you can go now.
Which you think after it happened a few times, and I kind of got a bit better at hiding some of it in my pockets or like throwing it under the table and things over time as a real...
I don't think they realized quite how bad it was.
I think my mom would have done something more about it if I had explained it more in depth than I did.
