I think this nonsense should stop at earliest. It is waste of food as either it cannot be finished or people overeat.
Also it was never our culture to have food in this way.— abhi (@hey_its_abhi) July 18, 2023

While many users were agitated, some spoke about it in a very subtle or funny manner. One asked if all of the remaining food could be parcelled, while another said he might have to increase the size of his family to finish the thali.
Amazing and enticing… I sincerely hope, people finish the Thali than waste food. In these times of food inflation, any food wastage is a crime against humanity
