Yeah, men (especially when teenagers) pride themselves on having near insatiable appetites, women, not so much.....
I guess it's a perspective thing when it comes to diet and nutrition. Can definitely understand the WW2 rationing driving parents to encourage "healthy" appetites for their kids after that era.
Congrats on your wedding too! Perhaps we should trade notes on how to maintain sanity while planning it!
Not sure I've worked out the staying sane bit yet ;)
