@lovesrecess The food is given food pantries. You can't worry about everything. Perhaps you should join a group that tries to prevent waste. Yes, it is terrible. Growing up, I would hear that kids are starving in Europe.

My mom wasborn in 1932 and was very frugal. She would save cornbread that was left over and put it in the freezer to make dressing with. Iam now 58 and appreciate the lessons taught by her that have made me what I am today. She would say if you need to charge it, sleep on it and consider if it is a need or just a want We were taught to "try"new foods whether it looked good or not. I miss her wit and wisdom!

If I was full and there was food left over, that was perfectly fine with my parents.
@Anonymous032819 Same for me. Never forced to clean my plate. I never remember being told to eat something I did not like.

Considering my age (71), I don't think it's a fair comparison between how my parents raised me and how things are now! My parents weren't frugal, but they were smart shoppers. They didn't have a lot of money back then, but they had been raised through the Depression and so they knew what they could/couldn't afford. We had access to fresh vegetables and meat, thanks to grandparents' farms, but I was never raised with the "waste not, want not" attitude. My parents were reasonable and they raised me to be the same way. What goes on now is the result of an entirely different generation's values as well as government regulations related to food safety.

was taught not to waste and to eat everything that i put on my plate.
i was never forced to eat anything that i did not like.
i try my best to do the same now. it is quite important to me.
if i go out to eat, i always take home the leftovers to eat.
we eat leftovers from dinners that i make and/or they are taken to work for lunch.
i send food to my kids or mom if i make too much.
i have two freezers and freeze meals to eat at another time.
