Wasting food (read more)

As long as the food is eaten by somebody, it isn't really being wasted.

You bought it to be eaten, and you ate it. Seems like its not a waste to me, it still went into your body as food, and as a source of vitamins and minerals!

I feel a strong sense of satisfaction when I manage to empty the fridge without throwing anything out.

Who gives a fuck.

What if I dumped a pound of uncooked ground beef in your lap would you eat it?

What if I cut a pigs torso open and dropped it off on your porch would you cook it and eat it or waste it?

Depends. If I know I can make something with it like a meal or a drink, I'll make it before it expires. But if it has no use then I end up throwing it away. I dislike doing that, though.

Expiration date is sorta a suggestion for the most part.

My grandmother came for a visit and she doesnt believe in wasting food so now everyday I have to make sure I dont waste anything. I realize now how much I take food for granted. No its olny a waste when you throw it away because with it went your money and it was better off in your tummy.

We waste a lot of food in our house. :s I hate the tought of eating food more than two days old and our fridge likes to freeze produce no matter what the temp is at.

How are you wasting it? You are eating it? Is that not the point of the food? What kind of backwards logic is this? So is yes no and up really down?

Its not a waste as long as someone eats it. I don't suggest eating food if it has expired... If the food has mold, skin is wrinkled, points caved in, is sprouted, smells off, has excess water or contains eggs; it shouldn't be eaten. You'd be better off throwing it out.
