did mo have food issues in his upbringing?

[jonsep]

given that mo will eat and drink everything in sight
i was wondering whether his family had difficulties raising the children and providing enough food for them.
therfore maybe mos obsession for the above is a psychological thing,eat it drink now because there may not be enough to go round.
now i know hes not going to go hungry in the house and what he did last nite was unactseptible but is it a deep freudian thing?

I doubt it.
Even if he did, I think it's ridiculous that people are trying to think up excuses for it.

That's like me saying Kathreya acts like a child because she wasn't allowed a childhood when she was younger.

Possibly. But everything we do is determined from our childhood. Maybe not so explicitly in that he suffered a lack of food in his upbringing, but SOMETHING caused that.

It's not an excuse for his behaviour, just an explanation.

im not trying to make excuses up for his behaviour
he just may not be aware of the profound affects people in those circumstances react subconciously.

That last bit did sound like an excuse.

Crux of the matter - he's a psychologically sound adult - if he doesn't understand social situations and general etiquette within them than he shows a severe lack of manners.

No that is what I meant. PROVIDED he's a psychologically sound adult (i.e. no social issues which would effect his perception) then the explanation you gave didn't explain his lack of manners.

Sorry for the confusion there.

He probably didn't IMO. Who knows the foundation for his greed but I dont think it's down to a lack of food during his childhood. Mo just seems to be obsessed with having everything that is put in front of him and leaving nothing for anybody else. He never seems to realise that others will need to eat as well and in that sense I don't think that is due to a lack of food as a child. He's quite a selfish person.
