Sometimes it is necessary. If my dad eats the wrong thing, he won't be
enjoying it later and neither will those around him or those who will need
to do the laundry!

I'm not even old yet and have to eat a restricted diet. A few moments of
pleasure on my lips are not worth the agony of the hours that could follow.
