I think if we don't waste so much food and give theseto people who starve to death, the worldwould be better.

The food I waste, if I could send it to the starving instead of binning it, I would.

I wish there was a way to give leftovers to those who need food. I hate leftovers.

charity that does not address the reason why it is needed often does more harm than good in the long run, the exceptions are to those who are not of able body or mind.

I would rather prevent food being wasted by only taking amount I could eat.

a lot of that food would be wasted regardless. You cant magically transport spoilable/perishable items to all corners of the earth. Just because you didnt finish that slice of pizza doesnt mean it could have been flown to somalia.

Why would I feel guilt?

I throw it at the homeless people when I'm finished.

No. Some people have to starve so that I can have more than I need. It works for me.

Only if I waste a lot. I'm not guilty that I'm starving another person in the world (that's their own fault), I'm guilty because my mom makes my food and then I just throw it away :cry:

I only waste food if I don't like it or there's too much, in which case I offer it to other people in the family. The charity aspect does not factor into it at all, that stuff's not getting donated to anyone regardless of whether or not I eat it.

My parents played the 'starving kids' card all through my life. They used to watch me sit and bawl at those sad orphan kid commercials with the depressing music and they still did it, knowing it upset me. That's why I'm not 110 pounds like my genetics would suggest is my probable weight, because I eat past when I'm full because I've always been told not to waste. My mom will throw out two bites of food left because she's full, and I'll just take it off her plate and eat it because I've been trained not to waste. At least in my house we had a serve-yourself deal, I cannot stand when I go to people's houses and they serve you, or their families, aside from toddlers. People waste because they're given too much, if they eat all they're given when they're given too much on a regular basis, they'll probably become overweight. So now in an effort to break those habits I take less of something the first time and go back for seconds if I want it. Never wasting, never overeating.

That... is like THE stupidest thing I have ever heard. You think an entire group of people should be killed because you figure it's 'for the good of the planet'? You know who else said **** like that? Hitler. And FYI, no, food goes into landfills, where it eventually rots and that's it. It doesn't feed animals unless you compost it yourself and feed the produce that it helps to grow to those animals. Otherwise it just takes up space and stinks until it rots completely away. You seem to be lacking the basic knowledge required to make these kinds of statements. Do us all a favor and keep your ignorance to yourself.

Go back for seconds was something my parents told me very early... Because they also meant that I should always eat up the food I take.

ah Hitler did not say that infact, know your history.

1. Africa is already suffering food problems, mostly in the from of rice, and rice shortages effect everyone, and the costs to take already cooked food safely, for a long period of time, is not cheap, and than to reheat the food, in a place that only has a fire place. also THERE IS 7 Billion people on the planet, that is already causing problems, and as the number rising, world wide food problems will only get worse, infact, with how bad things are getting here, almost every year, funds to help the poor and homeless gets worse. and we are slowly starting to have fights against each other 99% vs 1%, it isn't going away soon, and will probably get worse, and also, disasters, are getting worse thus more funds needs to go and help those people.

I do not believe, people should suffer there whole life, its not healthy, poor areas need smaller numbers so they can have better chances of suriving, and building a better life for the young people to live in.

Foods and anything that breaks down, is composted. and it does feed animals, if you don't know how to properly get rid of foods. and composting doesn't take up space, and lots of people here, use food wastes, in there gardens, also animals, may include rodents, and smaller life forms

Food does not, and should not go into landfills, if it does, please help and have your city use green bins

I try never to waste any food. I eat almost all of my leftovers for this reason. Something that I do that is bad is if I have about 25% or less on my plate/bowl, I'll force myself to try and finish because I don't want to waste, yet a few bite fulls of food are not enough to save. Needless to say, it leads to a lot of miserable fullness, lol.

I have about 15 cats and a few new dogs that were drop offs here that depend on me to throw out leftovers to keep from starving. So no guilt.

:/ Your reading comprehension sucks. I said **** LIKE that, not Hitler said he doesn't care about little african orphans and hopes they all die". I said Hitler thinks an entire group of people should be wiped out for no actual reason. Why do you figure you are worth more than any other of the 7 billion people on earth, then? Why do you deserve food, or to live, more than anyone else? More importantly, why do you figure they should all be wiped out, what have they done to you to deserve that? Do you figure we should kill all the mentally handicapped people, or physically disabled people who 'suffer' their whole lives too? What about people who were born sick, maybe missing organs? What about diabetics? What about people with disorders that make them constantly sickly, should they be killed because they're 'suffering' and not healthy? All so that the strong can become stronger, the weak are wiped out? I think not. Food you throw in your trash does not get composted. It gets thrown in landfills. Unless you COMPOST THE FOOD YOURSELF or have a compost service, like I said, they do not pick through hundreds of thousands of pounds of garbage every day in every city to pick out partially eaten food so they can compost it and feed animals with it. Again, your reading comprehension sucks terribly.

That's why I'm not 110 pounds like my genetics would suggest is my probable weight, XilePrincess

Had a similar experience growing up.

I was rather skinny right up until they practically forced me to eat more. >=

Trying to undo all of that takes time... so used to eating more than I should.

Believe me, any food you waste as an individual is insignificant compared to the amount discarded by companies and stores. Working yourself up over it is beyond pointless.
