Beer or wine for breakfast! 😆 I remember how surprised I was that folks used to drink beer or wine in lieu of water because water was considered unsafe. Your grandfather probably saved the milk for the kids or cooking?
I do agree with both you and Yi, moderation and measure. It's one of the reasons why I enjoy veganism--even if I eat too much, the feeling doesn't last long because I haven't eaten anything as difficult to digest as meat or dairy. But even if I was a meat eater, what if everyone ate within their means! Shocking!
But lately my husband has been very good about not eating too much. It's a very different notion from 'cleaning your plate' and 'don't let food go to waste'.
That's a very interesting comment you made. I think that many are socialised to "clean their plate" and I mean here to eat everything to avoid wasting food. Even though the intent is good, the end result could lead to eat in excess. In the end, we are not doing our body a favour. In Italy this is very common, but I learned to save the leftover for the next day instead of eating them (or ask my husband to do it 😅), even if the portion is not enough for one person's meal.
I really don't know how come my grandfather had wine with bread for breakfast 🤔. But my grandmother would scold him each time!

I am a believer in "everything in moderation" and that every food/drink is there for our enjoyment. What's life without joy? ;)
新年快乐！
我也祝你新年快乐！
In moderation is a better expression than with measure! But you got the message 😄.
Indeed, eating can be such a pleasure, regardless of how expensive the meal is.
I still have in mind the first niangao I had in Fuzhou when I first went to China to study 😋
