I find this depressing, irresponsible, and shocking. One of the many reasons why I hate buffets in general, it gets the worst out of some people.
I'm not saying that I am in favour of extreme "you are not leaving the table till you finish what there is on your plate" parenting, but I do suspect that if the parents of that guy had taken that line or a variation thereof with him once or twice in early years, they would have done both him and the planet a service.
