Thank you Day 6, grumpy old woman, Anya and many more. Sin and guilt do not come into,this. End of. (But then she continues.......)
Our generation are fortunate that most of us never suffered from acute food shortages such as existed during WW II or like my mother suffered in Germany during and at the end of the war. We may have known hunger indeed we were encouraged not to "spoil our appetite" and feeling hungry was the normal precursor to a meal. But to attribute "naughtiness" or "guilt" to good wholesome food is downright stupid.
We could feel guilt about wasting food when there millions starving in the world and families depending on food banks closer to home, but I get very angry when "naughty but nice" gets mentioned. Some of the "indulgences" some people have admitted to -fresh bread, butter, good cheddar are healthy, satisfying and what the good lord has provided (even Hagen Dazs)
So stop pretending beating yourselves up about it.
