So today I encountered a problem, and I need your help solving it. I walked into the kitchen to find Theo eating banana slices out of the trash can. They had just been put in a couple of hours before, but still not a great sight to see! So here is where I need help:
Do I need to feed my child more, or Do I need to empty the trash can more often? Votes and thoughts much welcomed!

From the looks of Theo, you are feeding him enough. I would think of it as teaching him an important life skill: Waste not; want not. He was just making sure nothing of value was wasted.
If he's anything like Annie, hunger had nothing to do with it. It's all about curiosity! I would say put your trash can out of reach, but he would just find something else gross to get into. I found Annie the other day standing over the toilet having just dipped her toothbrush in the bowl....then she took a big slurp just as I let out a big gasp!!
The boys look like you're feeding them well. Putting the trash out of reach would be a good idea, but it sounds like you may need to make sure the toilet can't be reached either! Kids do find the strangest things to decide to taste.
