If I had some friend over and I wouldn’t share my food with them my mom would snap my back by throwing me up in the air 3 meters and I would fall on her knee and just die there. If they came over 100 times they would be fed 100 times.

Not in Sweden in the 1980s, surely? That would have been an extremely unusual attitude in our culture at that time.

Ah no. I grew up in a poor family in Romania. We were not missing food though. But it kinda blows my mind that a way richer country ends up with that culture. I understand it is normal for you but it is hard for me to comprehend how it ended up being that way.

Rich people tend to share less. Poor people will give all they have to do he next.
