I support leaving food in your plate if you are full. Big reason why so many people are fat its because they ignore their fullness and eat until they finish whats in front of them.
^ I Agree.

I agree with you, it makes me think you are lucky to get food so eat it instead of wasting it! Y put it in your plate in the first place if you cant finish it!
What business is it of yours? Did you cook the meal? Did you pay for it? If you're talking about wasted food, the vast majority of it is tossed before it even reaches the marketplace.

i understand that logic if they do it on rare occasions.
but if you're a grown ass adult, and still haven't figured out how to judge your appetite than i'm calling you out.
every time our families get together i will see my cousins throwing out food from their plates. i just think that's really wasteful.
i could probably apply this to the general population. most ppl probably throw away a lot of food cause they are clueless about portions.
it's probably because they don't understand the concept of moderation or that they can afford to be wasteful. i think when ppl see a lot of food they don't register that there is a scarcity of food generally speaking. strikes me as rather ignorant behavior.

agreed with your latter point. the food chain in most developed nations is mighty inefficient. but that isn't going to make me feel apathetic about wasting food like it seems you are.

Are you that clueless? Or just that stupid?
[QUOTE=mannydawg;802273981]Are you that clueless? Or just that stupid?[/QUOTE]
just to be clear, mr mannydawg, i'm talking about people that have put the food that is on their plates themselves. not a portion given out say at a restaurant.
[QUOTE=Mogambo;802273751]agreed with your latter point. the food chain in most developed nations is mighty inefficient. but that isn't going to make me feel apathetic about wasting food like it seems you are.[/QUOTE]
You sound like some political zealot that thinks insignificant things make a difference - They don't, especially if you're too wimpy to express your own views to those that matter the most. That's to say, if you really cared about the issue, you'd at the least speak up and encourage those around you to make better judgements when filling their plates.
In other words, do stop being fake.

Yes it is sickening .. one thing is you do it on occasion because you thought you were hungry and filled up quicker than you thought
but some people do it as an habit , really really disgusting I work in the food business I see all kind
PS: but this thread should be in the misc section not here

so according to you, if i speak up i'm a political zealot. if i don't say anything i'm being fake.

couldn't agree more
[QUOTE=Mogambo;802273751]the food chain in most developed nations is mighty inefficient.[/QUOTE]It's just the opposite, which is why food is so plentiful and inexpensive in the developed world.
[QUOTE=WonderPug;802280231]It's just the opposite, which is why food is so plentiful and inexpensive in the developed world.[/QUOTE]
No it isn't .. it is plentiful but not efficient , efficiency would equal less waste
we waste tons of food just to manipulate market prices .. we "over" everything, to the point that we throw away tons of produce every year to maintain profitability
that is not efficiency...

The two are separate issues. Yield efficiency is exceptional high while distribution costs and loss factors are remarkably low in the developed world.
By way of example, a car's fuel efficiency is determined by how much fuel it uses to travel a set distance, not by the amount of miles the end user drives.

Over producing is not efficient if you have to throw it away to maintain profitability or keep up with demand ...
efficiency**
Efficiency in general describes the extent to which time or effort is well used for the intended task or purpose. It is often used with the specific purpose of relaying the capability of a specific application of [b]effort to produce a specific outcome effectively with a minimum amount or quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.[/b] "Efficiency" has widely varying meanings in different disciplines.
on the other hand in "less developed" countries more specifically countries that still relies heavily on traditional agriculture methods , small/medium family farming etc.. whatever is farmed or produced is rarely wasted.. that is efficiency by definition
and it's funny you use cars as an analogy because the car instance does exactly support my idea of efficient ... an efficient vehicle is the one that uses the least amount of energy to perform the task
in other words less waste of fuel= more efficiency
the food industry is no different
[QUOTE=Mogambo;802278031]so according to you, if i speak up i'm a political zealot. if i don't say anything i'm being fake.[/QUOTE]
Both are fake. All zealots do is yell and point out the problem without doing anything to fix the issue or offering up real solutions. All you're doing on an issue that you claim matters to you is complain about it. If it really mattered to you, why didn't you speak up at the table or afterwards? You didn't act or speak up when it mattered. That makes you fake.
And, again, it doesn't sound like you prepared or paid for the food. In other words, it has no real impact on you. Again, that's the behavior of zealots - Reacting on things that don't have a direct impact on you, but allows you to be all high and mighty.

By your definition, the greatest farming efficiency would be in those countries that are suffering the greatest famine.
I can count on one hand the number of times I've left anything on the plate.
Enjoyment of eating always overpowers the feeling of being full/satiated.
I started a thread like this, im glad there are other people out there like me. I actually do call people out on it... It is good to suggest (especially on meat) for that food to be saved for you in a container in the fridge. Usually when I cook and have excess I save it then go give it out to the needy
In some cultures it's polite to leave food on your plate.
[QUOTE=ajay12;802345951]In some cultures it's polite to leave food on your plate.[/QUOTE]
which ones?? I am honestly curious .. i live in 3 different continents and always find the opposite to be true some people get down right offended and rightly so
it's very offensive to your host to not respect what you have in your plate especially when it's meat .. an animal has died to feed you

You're not reading it right .. if you can't produce any food you can't be inefficient in producing it
a less developed country is not just a country suffering from famine , it is a country less dependent on machineries and GMO seeds for example

Satiation is by definition the sensation of fullness during an eating episode that contributes to eating cessation.

I know that in some Chinese cultures, eating all the food on your plate comes across as you wanting to eat more food, or that you aren't full. Leaving food on your plate shows that you have had your feed and you "aren't a pig"
Needless to say, food left on my plate is devoured and I a second plate of food is on its way. Chop chop g'ma, im ****ing hungry.
Leaving food on your plate is totally fine.
Throwing it away is the wasteful part.
