Everyone I know take what they don't eat home for later. I also see many other diners do the same. Food should not be wasted.

I take about half of my food home from restaurants. The portions sizes are ridiculously large! I will admit to wasting food at home, though. I have a hard time getting my husband and kids to eat leftovers for some reason. I dont always eat them either, not when I am making something else fresh for everyone else. I was raised to eat off of one soup, chili, casserole, etc...until it was gone and then you made something else. Guess I have spoiled them.

I try to not waste anything. I don't order large plates of food unless I am going to eat everything on it, and I do mean everything. At home, I cook and anything not eaten is put in the fridge until I do eat it. Most of my diet is fruits and veggies though, kinda hard to waste those....

Frozen man I usually have two smoothies, made from blueberries, strawberries, a banana, natural honey, orange juice, and soy milk, for breakfast, one for lunch, and a pasta or rice sticks stir fry for dinner.

After this race though, I can't wait to get some sushi!

I'm king of left-overs. Love 'em. If it ain't green and fuzzy it's fair game.
(actually, if I can still identify what it is/was, it's on...)
What slays me is "All-you-can-eat" buffets. I see people balancing plates of food trying
to get to their table. I have to slap myself from screaming, "Hey People, you can go back
for seconds!!!!!"
Wonder what ever happened to all that food my Mom threatened to send to starving
kids in China if we didn't eat it? Never see too many fat Chinese folk.

Donna - that is a beautiful expression, it should be on a greeting card. Thank you.

Personally I think you should keep your BBC crap to yourself...

I almost never eat out and do all the cooking...if it does not get eaten at that meal I take it to work for lunch...

meat, fruit, veggies or whatever... I was brought up to leave my plate clean

The only thing that makes my blood boil more that a$$hole drivers is seeing food go to waste... if you need to verify that just ask my girlfriend...


by the way stepmaster... I am not fat...
