How much can a person eat during CNY?
CNY has always been the season for force-feeding. At least it is true in my family. It further reinforces the Chinese saying " can eat is prosperity".
Judging from my waistline, I am quite the prosperous.
So i've been stuffed with food since the eve of CNY when our family starts the reunion day of eating. Mind you it's not a reunion dinner. It is the reunion day of eating. Literally. We start eating from the time we step into our parents' place and till we leave for my in-law's where I carry on with reunion dinner...
To me I find it hard to turn down an offer of food. Not because I am greedy or a glutton but I think it is a nice gesture which shouldn't be snubbed. Maybe that's why I'm starting to appreciate gravity at a higher level...
