Why do people get mad when food is wasted?

I remember when this girl was eating food at the buffet. She came back to the table and had a full plate of food, she ate two things on her plate and and after that she didnt eat anything else, so her mom got mad saying that she wasted all that food, and that people in this world are out starving for food.

But the food is unlimited anyway so she should not be mad if the girls waste food or not

AM I RIGHT?

    Glad to see you took the racial reference out when you reposted this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al0uH...

    Again why should people waste what other's can use? Another consideration buffets have the prices set based on the amount of food the average person eats if those food costs go up because more food is being used the prices will also go up.

    The girl must be ordered in a restaurant, what would be there, not to gain a full plate

    Yes my mom ***** about it all the time. Yelling me for not eating all my food. She says the same things all the time . What about the people, who have nothing to eat. I always think, but when i eat it, they still have nothing to eat. Its a lose lose situation.

    When I was little people always used to tell me to eat my food because of starving kids in other countries. I always wondered why we couldn't just give my uneaten food to them. Me eating my food isn't going to help anyone but me.

    Geeez Staten it is about taking personal responsibility so that you can live with yourself. How do you sleep at night? You better learn that lesson now or in your next life you will have to come back as a starving kid from Africa. Mark My Words Mr Smarty Pants!!!!!!

    I hate wasting food. Other people could have eaten food that's thrown away.

    Lol. My parents were also like that when I was little. I guess it's just their way of telling me to appreciate what I have because other kids might not be that fortunate.
