[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We eat leftovers all the time. Especially now that we’re home so much. The idea of throwing away perfectly good food makes me crazy. [b]I grew up with food insecurity. We save and repurpose everything we can.[/b] Compared with most posters on DCUM I seem to have a much much lower level of worry about food poisoning. [/quote]

This gets at why some people consider leftovers low class. [b]It speaks to a level of frugality that just isn't necessary if you don't have to worry about food or money[/b]. I think "low class" isn't the best term to describe such economy -- that phrase tends to be more appropriate to describe trashy behavior than thriftiness. [/quote]

I will never understand this. Just because you have enough to “not worry about food or money - does that give you a pass for wasting valuable resources?? It’s consumptive, entitled, and, frankly, disgusting behavior.

Don’t be one of those humans - and for gods’ sake don’t teach your children to be.

Think about it from a larger perspective than just your own selfish paradigm of “having enough”:
