Does it bother you to throw away food? POLL included

I have a hard time throwing away food. If it’s just some spoiled milk it’s no big deal, but generally speaking it really pains me to let food go to waste.

I was raised to clean my plate and never waste food. My dad would get so pissed if we didn’t eat leftovers quickly enough, if they spoiled and had to be thrown away.

Does it bother you to waste food, to throw it away?

It would if I lived in africa.

This is why I need a dog.

Completely agree I always have a little guilt about it! If I have something natural (meet,fruits or veggies) that’s just starting to go bad I put it in the woods near my house, so something can come and enjoy it.

I too had to sit at the dinner table until bedtime many nights for not finishing everything on the plate. (on the plus side, mashed potatoes can somewhat fun to sculpt ).

I hate having to throw away food. I often eat weird combinations of food, or weird foods to be eaten alone, just so they don’t go to waste.

I often guilt-eat foods that are bought but not eaten. Leads to a lot of food-triggered joint pains.

Yes, it bothers me. It’s like throwing away money!!

The U.S. military throws away so much food. On the aircraft carrier we would throw away dozens of contractor-sized Hefty bags full of food every day.

The fish would follow the ship. They ate well.

It bothers me, but I have to admit Ive done it a lot in my life, when I went on food binges and I would throw away the rest of the biscuit pack for example on my way home…if I took it for the family I would be too tempted to have eaten the whole pack on the way
