But Lilly needs to reduce her food waste![/quote]

I read your update about this being a party. You should have mentioned this in your OP, because a one-off event with too much food is vastly different than daily waste.

All you needed to do is explain to your friend that this was extra party food and you had already given away as much as you could. Your friend's comment is not rude. My friends could say that and I would not be offended - I would explain.

OP, the comment bothered you because you feel defensive about throwing out all that food -- she called you out on it.

It would be different if she'd insulted your appearance or your spouse or your kids or something. But she made a true comment about something you know isn't great. You could have explained the situation ("I know, I hate it, but I've given away as much as I can and we still have stuff going bad in here") but instead you chose to snap back. That's about you, not her.

[b]I don't think her comment was snippy, but your response was. She was giving you feedback, you chose to get defensive and angry about it.[/b] I personally think you owe her an apology.[/quote]

DP.  I think her comment was incredibly snippy and judgmental. She wasn't asked for feedback, was a guest in someone else's home and should have kept her mouth shut.  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. [/quote]
