Default Do you waste food?

talking 'bout food wastage.. just look at the way folks stack food up
at all ya can eat buffets and the wastage.

i wish it was like Singapore, where, in a buffet, they weigh the food
you have not eaten on your plate and make you pay extra proportionally.

That seems like a bad idea: it would encourage overeating, because
if you get too much, it costs money not to eat it.

Wasting food is bad, but what is worse is overeating and being in
bad health as a result. It would be better to not have either happen,
but if you have to choose between them, wasting food is the better
choice. A little bit of food thrown in the trash (or compost heap,
or whatever) is a lot cheaper than a heart bypass, knee surgery,
diabetes meds, blood pressure meds, etc., etc., etc.
