I had similar competition for food when I was growing up, too. Between my bottomless pit of a brother and a father who could eat his own bodyweight in food multiple times a day (ok, not quite, but I think he certainly enjoyed trying!), I also felt like I had to 'compete' for food. I never really thought of that but I would bet that's how my habit of hiding food started. I know I definitely used to hide my Halloween candy from my little brother!

Interesting.
