    This whole thread makes me giggle. The animosity people have towards a slice of cheesecake and it's fate is something I find very amusing.

    I think I'll stop at Jewel on my way home tonight and buy myself a single slice package of cheesecake. Om Nom Nom.

    I also find it amusing as to how many people are cheering for throwing away perfectly fine food that is not spoiled ...

    It's not much different than leaving food uneaten on your plate in a restaurant. Would you have felt better if he'd let it sit on his desk till it went bad and then threw it away?

    it is different. you paid for that food in the restaurant. you didn't pay for the cheesecake.

    You said I paid for the food in the restaurant. My point was that I don't. Though honestly I don't see how it makes any difference. Food is food. Either it is wasted or it is not. We all waste food.

    maybe if you actually paid for food or anything in life, you would appreciate it more. if you rely on other people to buy you everything, your credibility is pretty low on this issue.

    what if she doesnt have any money

    I don't pay in restaurants = I don't pay for anything in life. Wow, that's a great leap. I give it a 9.8!!

    her "oh sweetie" was more of a brag type post as if she is using men to feed her. didn't come across as her being poor. came across as condescendingly bragging about men buying her stuff.

    why would you not pay in restaurants? food is a basic necessity in life.

    Oh, I see the confusion. You see, food can be obtained from other places. Sorry, I though everyone knew that.

    This has been fun, but I'm off to a restaurant right now (and I'm not going to pay hee hee!!)

    again, what?

    okay, lets just talk in circles around what you said. you lack credibility in this area entirely if you continue to not ever pay for food and use people to pay your food bill. thanks for playing!

    slight difference between not eating an entire meal and throwing it away when one is full to throwing away perfectly fine food that is just sitting out because one views it as "bad"...

    way too serious. the real crime here is against the poor cheesecake who found its fate

    btw, she might like woman, she could steal the food, or she could really be poor or gets all her food free in the restuarant she works in or owns. the possibilities are endless.

    the "oh sweetie" makes it pretty obvious what she meant.

    Are people seriously up this guys *kitten* about throwing it out and not taking it back for another coworker to have and get diabetes from? Seriously.

    It takes a LOT of willpower to do this, good for you OP!

    i have seen a LOT of derp in these forums, but this one takes the cake.

    being able to turn down delicious food is a really empowering feeling.
    I understand what you mean, saying no to food is extremely difficult, you should be very proud of yourself!

    The other day I went (alone) to a restaurant which is world-famous for its cheesecake. Unfortunately, the serving size is enormous, like literally 5 times as much as I wanted.

    I ordered it. And ate about 20% of it. And then didn't ask for it to be boxed up, because I ate as much as I cared to and didn't want to carry it around, nor did I want to eat it later.

    The cheesecake was $8. I would argue that I got $8 worth of value out of it. I would have ordered it at the same price even if the serving size was the tiny amount I wanted.

    Now, some people will say that this is better because a) I paid for it and b) I ate some of it. But I'd say that makes it worse because a) OP only wasted food, but I wasted both money and food, and b) OP changed his mind at the last minute, but I KNEW I was going to throw most of it away when I ordered it.

    My feeling is this: OP wanted the cake when he took it. Then decided he didn't. OK. He found his willpower a little late, but he found it. Good for him. "Wasting food" is a ridiculous concept in North America. If we all ate everything we were served, we would all be obese. No one should eat out of guilt.

    no, OP did waste money. he wasted someone elses money, not his own. THAT'S what makes it worse. do you think that cheesecake just appears from the cheesecake gods in the o.p.'s situation and nobody paid for it?

    Good for you. I think throwing it away after you made a mistake in taking it, is better than eating it to not waste food.

    Well, in that case she wouldn't...
