I wonder if people who buy produce in bulk struggle with eating more than they should.
There was just an article on that very thing - buying from Costco can mean eating too much! The more you have the more there is too eat. I can go overboard on edamame as well. They are so nutritious but also that snacky kind of feel can make me eat too many...

Also, as to buying in bulk, I know I don't like to waste food. If it's here I can feel like I HAVE to eat it. I read something once about not treating yourself as the garbage can - meaning it's ok to throw food away off your plate when you are full. Or for moms, not to graze off the kid's leftovers...
