Mother in law insist on fresh food everyday

So my dear mil refuses to eat left over food. Every meal needs to be fresh cooked meal. She also doesn’t allow my husband or her grandchildren to eat leftover. It’s sibei fustrating for me. Cause what am I supposed to do with all these damn leftovers? She says leftover food is unhealthy and refrigerating /microwave will result in bacteria and this will result in long term illness. Hubby just listens to her when she’s home. Otherwise he himself loves leftovers. But he doesn’t think it’s worth fighting with his Ma about this.

Bacteria and mould starts to form when food is left out over 3-4 hours, it’s a fact, sometimes for soft and wet food, you can start to smell “rubbish” smell, or things that contains coconut or milk becomes extremely sour. I’m surprised you want your hubby and kids to eat that. Adults may have some immunity but for kids botulism kills. It’s not worth to save that extra dollar for hefty hospital fees. It’s penny wise pound foolish, so your mil is not wrong. For rice is still ok when in rice cooker, transfer immediately to plastic bag and fridge and can fry next few days. Other than that just dump the rest of the food.
