Forcing someone to clean their plates because people are starving makes no sense...and where does the food end up after eating it anyway??? What part of this is a sin? If I stretch my imagination, I can possibly consider the money spent on the wasted food could have been used to feed someone, but then again, the money spent on the newspaper I throw away or the gas I put into my cart to go to the square...how about the money wasted at the happy hours?? If I buy food, I am helping to support farmers and everyone else down the chain..what does it matter what I do with it???

I agree. If we eat the excess food that would "be wasted", it comes out the other end as WASTE product. So what's the difference if we throw it in the garbage disposal or trash where it is "waste", or if we
eat it and it comes out the other end as "waste"????? Either way, nobody else who needs food can eat that!!!!
Eating something only because it would be "wasted" makes absolutely NO sense.
Preparing only the amount needed does make sense.
