People on The Straight Dope joking about food waste.

Dear Abby gave this weight-loss advice: “Regardless of what your mother told you, cleaning your plate is not going to help any starving children in Africa.”

Not wholly truthful piece of food waste does have a climate impact which in turn causes famines. When I was a kid I foodwasted so much.

That’s mostly due to having more control over what gets put on my plate in the first place.
