So maybe we should change "Don't make life altering decisions while grieving" to "Don't make life altering decisions or create LPTs while grieving."

I mean, I get it but this is not a LPT. Sucks for OP, but this is not a grief support sub.

One of the biggest skills that you can have in your toolbox is patience. When teaching we're (supposed to be) the subject matter experts in what we're transferring to a new mind. Because we've done what we're teaching for so long, we may run into a "let me do it for you" thought process at times. It really doesn't teach anything. When I teach, I use various methods. I take it all the way down to the "for dummies" version without insulting their intelligence and give it to them in a wash, rinse, and repeat manner. Show them how to do something, explain why it was done like that, and allow them to do it until they understand how and why, then we go to the next block. After the next block, we go back to the first one to check the retention and do the same for all.

Not everyone has access to the abundance you're talking about, and that abundance isn't guaranteed to last forever. Food waste contributes to the overall demand for agriculture and its side effects, including carbon emissions, water usage, and destruction of natural habitats. I'm not going to pretend that the ends of the bread make that much of a difference, but an attitude of using what you need and not wasting things unnecessarily has many benefits.

Eating the end piece doesn't mean you have to overeat, just that you don't need as many loaves. The end pieces having a higher fiber content may even keep you full longer, leading to eating less through the rest of the day, helping you with your goal of consuming less total calories.

I don't suggest forcing kids to eat anything in particular, as long as the overall food picture is healthy. And if the kid wants to eat bread, they should have to eat the crust, including the occasional end piece.

Not all bread is created equal. Some breads are quite nutritious, and the crust tends to have more nutritional value than the rest of the bread.
