Wasting food. Even if it was just a bit of rice left over, I'd be told "someone worked hard picking that rice" so I'd eat it. Even now, whenever I eat food I make sure to cherish it and eat every last bit of it! 😋
I’ll often leave food because I’m full. I’m conscious to not eat more than I need.
In this vain, why should the rice farmer and me both suffer?
I’ve watched a friend stuff himself for years with stupid portions of food and now he has gout and is an unhealthy weight, likely to be a burden on our NHS in later life, causing further suffering to many more people.
Ah man. I grew up in an Evangelical Christian family, specifically Independent Fundamental Baptist. The most conservative of conservative Christians. The kind of Baptists who think Southern Baptists are "liberal". I remember when I had my first girlfriend in High school and my parents thought I might maybe possibly have had sex one time. I had not. At least not at that point. They Flipped. Their. Shit.
