Was this a repost ? I havent seen anything like it recently . <| sep |> Oh that ' s funny , wonder how it ended up there . <| sep |> I can only take 2 games of domination at a time . <| sep |> A lot of people seem to think that wasting food is somehow inherently bad because poverty , starvation and Africa . I would argue it is inherently bad , but not for those reasons . I believe that the eating of at least some animals is probably unethical . However , I fail to see how wasting meat could on average cause any meaningful amount of extra suffering . This might not be relevant because the argument is also brought up when food that is almost certainly ethical to eat is being wasted . If you understand the cost of growing food in general and understand the higher cost of something like meat , you understand that it should be as minimal as possible if not eliminated entirely . You may think it ' s worth the extra environmental cost to eat meat , and thus justified by some degree by your consumption . But , it ' s only justified if you consume it . If you don ' t consume it , the extra environmental cost for raising that cow or whatever was for nothing . I don ' t believe that wasting food isn ' t bad . I believe it ' s just as bad as wasting other ressources of similar value . Other resources like ? Wasting something like meat is wasting water , land , other food , time , loss of life , added methane for beef , etc . It ' s also worth noting that other forms of waste are considered had as well .
