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.

Maybe there is some truth in it: https://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/leftover-food-to-eat-or-not-to-eat Many people think that heat as well as cold temperatures will keep food safe, but this is not always the case. A common example is the idea that leftovers are safe to eat once they are heated. However, as bacteria multiply quickly in temperatures between 5 and 60 deg C, food that has been left outside the fridge for too long may contain a lot of bacteria. Even boiling may not be enough to kill the bacteria, said Professor William Chen, Nanyang Technological University's Michael Fam Chair Professor and director of its Food Science and Technology Programme.
