When I became a parent, I learned another reason we spice our food: to protect parents’ meals from tiny thieving hands.

They are dependent on you; If you starve, they too starve.
Same goes for safety procedures on air flights, etc.
You know what? Sometimes parents want some food for themselves. In a house full of food, this is the one food they really like and want to have whole meal out of it without someone trying to eat bites out of it. It might even be crackers at a time.
And you know what? It does not even mean that kids are spoiled or parents cant control them or yadda yadda.
