Perfect! I like that plan!
You're so right about then having to explain! That is what I noticed even back before I knew about the Maternal Dominance Hypothesis is that people would start worrying days/weeks in advance of an event, make these big elaborate plans about how they'd handle it, be sneaking food in to eat secretly and then be either in despair afterwards if it didn't go right or be celebrating about puling the wool over everyone's eyes, and my common sense was just telling me "there is NO WAY that one meal justifies all this thought and effort and stress when literally no one in earth is eating this way??? And then once I DID learn about the personality stuff it was a lightbulb going off for me.

I can't even imagine having to do that! It stresses me out just thinking about all that mental effort just for food, haha. Your MDH/privileged daughters essay series was a great read also, so interesting seeing how this all fits together! So glad I found this site and your wealth of knowledge in my random searching. :)
