How do you feel about wasting food?

Every time I waste food I feel bad and think about all the starving people who don't have anything to eat, but sometimes I get so full and can't eat anymore. I have tried saving some of my left overs in the fridge but I end up dumping it because I don't want it anymore. Do you waste food? How do you feel about it? Do you eat until your whole plate is clean?

I don't feel guilty or such, but still take only as much as I can eat and in retrospect finish all that I had served in my plate. Sometimes it's more than required (bad judgement) still I prefer not to waste it.

I try not to waste food, even i don't like wasting food, so i try to make only enough food so that it doesn't get wasted, but then too , sometimes it will be more than required, so i keep it in fridge and next day either give it to poor people or will heat and consume it.

My dad was always fanatical about not wasting food. He grew up in the war years and remembered rationing so that was probably why. These days I do try not to waste food but I would never clear my plate for the sake of it. I tell myself that making your body eat food it doesn't need is waste too!

Yes I agree with what you are saying making our bodies eat what we don't need is waste because eating even after we are full can cause vomiting. I remember as a young girl my parents would make me eat my food until my plate was empty, because they grew up poor and some times I would vomit, I guess they wanted to make sure that I was always full.

I can understand..... But I waste food only when it is the last option ....usually I refrigerate it and use it the next day
