One thing I NEVER understood about this concept was the "wasting of food". Even if someone does eat all of the food on their plate doesn't exactly mean the food isn't going to waste. I.E., if I'm over-eating it's a waste of food that someone else may have had the opportunity to consume. Just because I'm eating it doesn't mean it isn't going to waste! It is wasteful if I don't really want to eat it and consume it anyway. I look at it this way, it can be disposed of in a few different methods. Either I can not eat it in hopes that someone else will, or I can trash it to start with, or I can consume it, wait for it to come out the other end and dispose of it that way. The problem with the latter is that it means there's more work to be done to process / get rid of the food from my waist! If the food ends up turning to fat that's a waste of me!
