I can say that it is true.I have a habit that when every one will be ready from eating I can throw away food no matter if it`s good or not.Especially bread and when children are fed up of eating more.It`s not a good thing and I a trying to change my bad habit.And you ?

Hi there, I never throw away leftover food, I normally put it in the fridge and reheat it the next day and eat it again. Except for those I forgot and its been sitting in the fridge for quite some time. Its good that you are trying to change your bad habit, because there are so many people starving. Have a nice day.

I seldom throw left over food away. If I think we will not eat it the next day I freeze it for a later meal. I usually cook enough to make TV dinners because of my family's schedules. Not every one home at the same time for a meal. It's also cheaper to cook this way for us.

Oh yes it's great when you don't feel like cooking. I even heat them up on the top of the stove instead of heating the kitchen with the oven.

My parents taught me well when I was growing up. They told us not to waste food cuz there are a lot people who has nothing to eat at all whereas me, I am lucky to eat whatever I like and whenever I want. I grew up thinking like this always. I never waste food. If we have left overs, it'll be recycled. Like for example if there are left over rice, the next morning it'll be cooked fried for breakfast. If there are left over viands, it'll be put into the fridge to preserve it until the next meal. And all other excesses will be given to the dogs and cats.

We keep leftovers for one or two days and if it's still in the fridge we'll throw it out then. Usually though we try not to throw any food because it's such a waste. We understand that many children die of hunger every day and when we're fortunate enough to have food on the table we don't finish it.

As much as i can , i dont throw leftover foods. I make it a habit that ill finish my plate and eat everything i have. Come to think of it that alot of misfortunate poor people are starving in our country. There is alot of empty stomachs that feels hunger all over the thirld world countries. Im very specific on not wasting food cause i know its a blessing and should be used properly.

If you know that you cant eat too much try not to cook so much portion or take that much. Wasting food is not that good. Sometimes thinking of the poorer kids in other countries really pains me. We have much food and they do not have. But someone dont try to force yourself to eat so much even knowing that you cannot waste food. forcing yourself to eat that last portion might make you throw out.

I always try my best not to throw away any food. There are so many people in the world who dont have any food at all so I feel very guilty when food has to be thrown out.
