Odd - I'd have to search, but your anecdotes are at odds with other anecdotes I've read about Soviet immigrants hoarding food due to being accustomed of the frequent shortages despite the fact food was plentiful in America.

Hoarding food is not the same as eating the hoarded food. (I mean they might do both, but hoarding as a reaction to potential future shortages is not an insane one)

We regularly had to stop my grandma from eating spoiled food. She wasn't obese or ate too much, but this is not healthy.
