Does this seem selfish to you?

not really, you don't like chicken soup, what can i say? if you don't like something, you won't eat it. i think you're the opposite, you tried to moped and keep it down, that show you're grateful. don't worry about the stories that other people in diff part of the world have so little to eat. you're fine, next time tell your mom you don't like chicken soup. you like raw carrots and sweet potatoes
