    If you eat food just because you “Don’t want to waste it”, you become the wastebin.

    I’ll mail the leftover crusts to “children in Africa”, maybe that will solve the world hunger.

      Or, you know, someone in need nearby. There are homeless people eating out of garbage and families using food banks everywhere. But then you’d also look like an asshole for just giving them a bunch of crusts instead of a whole slice.

      How about just not buying more food than you can eat? Or save a couple of slices for the next day? Or give someone else a slice before you fill up on the inner circle of your plate of food?

        Have you ever been outside?

        1. Homeless people aren’t just everywhere. Normal countries deal with homeless people properly - they house them and take care of them

        2. I don’t know how much pizza I’m going to get at a restaurant.

        3. I don’t always go home, so boxing leftovers is not always an option.

        It’s almost like idiotic blanket statements like “be a man, eat the crust” are fucking moronic.

        Be an adult and treat your body with respect. Listem do your stomach and your brain, not what some weirdos online think is “the right thing to do”.

        Plus, if I leave the crust, it signals the restaurant that the portion is too big.
