My little theory

[Metal-Loving-Medic]

Okay, hear me out here. This is just a vivid little philisophical thought that crossed my mind one day and I haven't spent much time perfecting it, so I will give you what I think.

I don't know about you, but I was always bitched at for wasting food, but then it occured to me...

If you pay for the food, then there is no wasting involved. If you pay for it then the money (one way or another) gets to the producer and then that money is used to produce more food. This goes for any renewable resource as well. So, seems like common sense, no?

No, you are wasting it because you're literally throwing away the money of the buyer of the food when you put that shit in the trashcan

[Urban-Champion]

Now, prepare for your philosophy to be shit all over.

If you throw away all the food that you bought, then your body has less to convert into usable energy; or calories and fat. Once the food has rotted, there is no way that a human could digest the food properly to get the maximum amount of energy the food once had. Therefore, it is wasted.

i don't know about you but i mail my leftovers to africa

[aliciavclark]

This made be true if you were providing the food but, as being the consumer, it is wasting food.
Like the others said, you already paid for it yes, but, if you throw it away you're throwing your money away.

It's wasted simply because you haven't eaten it. "Don't you know people are starving out there!"

Okay, I obviously should've been a tad more specific...

Hey Guess(random numbers), fuck you!

If you're not wasting your food, then you are definitely wasting your money.

What?

When people talk about wasting food, they aren't complaining about your impact on the economy.

[Prinzy2]

I think the idea of wasting food comes initially from large households that didn't have a lot of money to spend. Think about it, if you have a family of six and they only have $600 a month to spend on food, and you eat $200 dollars worth and toss 50% of what you eat, you're basically leaving one member without food.

Realistically you're only leaving 80% left for everyone, but imagine that the breadwinner only has 80% of the energy they normally have, resulting in earning only 80% of what they normally would, which means you have 80% to spend on food compared to what you normally would.

It just spirals down from there, especially if you don't change your food wasting habits.

This one took me awhile to think of a reply to, but here it is. Even if you didn't eat it and simply threw it on the ground (or in the trash) some insect, animal, or plant will take in the nutrients in some way. Therefore, shattering your shattering.
