Throwing away food

I meant that as a humorous reply Eddie.

OK, I wasn’t sure.

Indeed, the internet with all it's so-called wonders, cannot replace actual live conversations.
Nor can it also convey when a person jokes around with another.

Me?... I'm a jokester that my friends all know all too well.
I look at it this way, the way the world is these days, with the drama, the crime, and all the rest of that crap, a little humor to break things up and make someone smile, is a healthy thing.

Well, Philly... humor has NO place in a serious place such as this! And remember, drink all your beer, there's sober kids in India, too!

So I noticed!

Matt, none of your posts are ever humorous but are generally insulting, fact less or opinionated

Thank you.
Since I'm an East Coast Conservative, I'll make a note of it.

I was strictly brought up not to waste food because many of my parent`s generation still remembered the meaning of hunger first hand.
Of course I didn`t like those rules as a child growing up in a time of abundance and argued how does it help the poor in Afrika if I eat something I don`t like or what difference does it make if I don`t throw it away.
Today I try to throw away as little as possible.
Apart from the money it`s also about ethics and moral.
Just thinking about how much suffering and pain is involved in a jug of milk, a carton of eggs, a can of tuna or a steak I cannot justify a half eaten plate going back into the kitchen.
Even the critters on my vegetables and bread have died a slow and painful death when the farmers sprayed their fields.
None of it can be seriously avoided and have no plans to become a vegetarian but I think it`s a matter of respect to award those creatures and give them a meaning by actually feeding me and not by throwing food away.

On the other hand when shopping groceries I always reach for the freshest stuff on the back of the shelf which makes me such a hypocrite because I`m very aware that such behavior leads to more food waste on the part of the supermarket. But no matter what you do there`s always something. LOL

I have to also agree, about the effort and life of animals sacrificed for making what was meant to eat, and hate seeing those things spoiled, damaged or expired causing waste of... Not to mention the packaging, too...

If stuff doesn't sell, into the big dumpster it goes, just for more of it to be overproduced, and hopefully sold honestly, not subject to theft or lowering prices for... Or failure to thwart off the shortened shelf-life even from mark-downs or a buy one, get one free-sale, product must go, at cost, below cost, during prime periods and times of honest sales, making profits, or becoming what's almost always, a loss...
