It was a joke. Not one of my best ones, I take it.
Umm yes because if you eat spoiled food then you will probably get sick/food poisoning..
Is it necessary to throw away food that is spoiled?
so throwing away food that is not spoiled is OK?jillby6666 wrote: »Its just food. I think all the mourning for the cheesecake shows how we put food on a pedestal.

Great job you should feel proud!!
Chewy milk might taste a little sour and make my stomach grumble, but I paid good money for it dagnabit!
And, for the record, indeed throwing out one piece of cheesecake once will neither cause severe famine in Africa nor be grounds to diagnose an eating disorder.
The reason I didn't feel that the OP's story is a success one, and still don't, is that I've done the "put things in the trash to keep myself from eating them" thing too. Then it turned into "put things in the trash to keep myself from eating them then dig them out of the trash and eat them anyway". Then *kitten* got weird.
No harm in telling the OP to be careful.
unless you want to eat three week old chicken that has been sitting in the fridge???
I really do not understand your point...
There's a 50-50 chance of that with everything I write.0 -

Dear Karma,
In my next life, please may I have a job in an office where "leftover" cheesecake appears on a regular basis?

And what did you decide to do this time?
for now I have abstained, but I know it's there. Honestly, watching this tread develop the way it has, really has stayed with me and is helping a bit, but only a bit. I will be strong, I think, I think I will try to be strong, oh goodness who knows at this point. Thanks everyone.

The fact that other people have already been messing over it should be reason enough to leave it alone! I mean, what if the last person who took a piece of cheesecake just walked out of the restroom w/o washing his/her hands? Or, what if someone sneezed all over it? Or, what if someone picked their nose prior to getting their slice? See, those are the thoughts that run through my mind when I see food laying around the office. My self-diagnosed OCD keeps me from partaking in office goodies for the most part! LOL!! #WalkAwayFromTheCheesecake0 -

If karma truly works the way it should, people who mess up MFP forum quotes should *never* find leftover cheesecake even once in their lives. 0 -
That was incredibly wasteful. If you want to resist, then actually resist, don't throw out perfectly good food. Not saying you had to eat it, I just hate hearing crap like this when people die of starvation every day.0

Quoting my own postYes, it's ok [to throw away food that isn't spoiled]. You are basically throwing away food when you let it spoil in the first place without eating it all. Would taking that slice home, and keeping it on the counter until it's spoiled make throwing it away okay?
1. The "hungry children of Africa" will not be eating that cheesecake
2. Throwing away that slice for a moment of pride is worth it. It made him feel happy that he made a choice, exercised his willpower, and overcame an emotional hurdle. We throw things away to make ourselves happier all the time, like throwing away money to watch a movie or have that latest gadget (think of all the hungry children in Africa who can't even afford the bare basics you spoiled 1st world residents!)0 -

Think of it as saving someone from the unecessary excess of sugar!!!
I weighed 102.2 pounds this morning. I could probably use some extra sugar to help me gain some weight. And anyway, not everyone needs to avoid sugar. I certainly do not. It's not unhealthy for everyone.
If by "extra sugar" you mean "extra calories" to the point of a caloric surplus, then yes, that is what would help you gain some weight.
uh yes. sugar is an easy way to get those extra calories. do i need to use these exact words though? *rolls eyes*
at 9 calories per gram, wouldn't fat be an easier way?0 -

doesn't cheesecake have both?0 -
Please tell us that you picked up a piece to take back to your desk and threw it away!And what did you decide to do this time?
I'm serious about this, it's a tremendous victory and something that you should never let yourself feel ashamed of, especially by a bunch of strangers on the internet.

Clearly quoting did challenge me in my previous post.shandy82165 wrote: »
Awww don't be upset because he didn't throw away cheesecake just to throw it away. You can always go to the store, buy your own then throw it away.
Also, quoting isn't hard.
And I have gone to the store specifically for the purpose of buying a food item with the specific intent of throwing it away instead of eating it. It was a part of my therapy when I was seeing a nutrition therapist. Not being able to throw food away was actually one symptom of some disordered eating patterns I had. And part of my therapy was learning that it was ok to throw food away.
We all have different experiences and different relationships to food. Shaming someone for what they see as a victory over food could actually have a reverse intent, and could in fact reinforce disordered thinking.0 -
And continues to challenge me
