The idea that it's "bratty" to not eat something that you find repulsive is so outdated I don't even know where to start.

Like I said... If the kid seems unwell or under-nourished then it's time to call in parents and figure out what's going on, take it further if needs be.

If she's NOT under-nourished then frankly it's no one else's ****ing business what she does or doesn't eat, just as with every other human being on the planet.

I'd also add here that even if she does have a problem (which from this story doesn't sound like the case at all) - the absolute worst thing you can do when someone has an eating disorder is FORCE them to eat. Actually no there is something worse. Forcing them to eat food that's been in a bin. How it's not obvious that this risks making an eating disorder 10x worse is beyond me. Engage your higher brain functions folks, step away from that indoctrinated "clear your plate!!" authoritarianism.

You’re beginning to sound like you’re delivering a training session for the new woke PC dinner lady crew.

And whether or not someone has an ‘eating disorder’, throwing food, wasting it, in the bin, and being rude about it, is not ‘bratty’ to you then?

If you don't want to eat something you should throw it in the bin, not force it into your face. It isn't bratty in the slightest. If they insisted they wanted to be given something else - sure. Simply choosing not to eat something - no. The idea that it's "rude" not to eat food you don't want to eat is bizarre.

So if you made your wife a meal, and she threw it in the bin, calling it tasteless, you’d still think she was the best wife in the world. You’re a sponge.

The question should be..

Would you make your wife take it out the bin and make her eat it.

Sorry but it is bratty, she could have just left it on her plate and said she wasnt hungry, chucking in the bin while complaining it was tasteless although it appears she didnt taste it, as it went into the bin wrapped is something you would call bratty in an adult so no different in a child
