Why do people get mad when you don't eat all your food?

Question

Recently I went to a friends (let's call her Tia) house and Tia's mom made all of us sandwiches and brother didn't eat all of his. Everybody was getting in him about not eating all his food. Later on Tia's dad comes to my dad and tells him what happened and said that next time my bro comes over he needs to eat all his food. 

Just yesterday I was over my other friends house(let's call her Raven) and my friend was eating a cream filled Danish( let's call her Mia) and I took it from her hand because she was supposed to be on diet before her wedding and I was trying to keep her on track. So I threw it in the garbage. And everyone started to get made at me bc I threw it away. I'm like' she already bit off it. They're like we would've of ate it. So I just changed the subject. And later on when we were about to leave they were all trippin bc I didn't finish my soup from earlier. 

I just don't get why people get so mad when you don't finish all ur food.

Probably because food is expensive, people go to the trouble of preparing it and leaving it shows a lack of consideration and manners.

That's why l always allow people to serve themselves from dishes rather than putting food on their plates...if they are not feeling very hungry then they only take as much as they want.

Next time say something like "l'm sorry l can't finish this, but it was delicious, thank you".

I'm not sure about the sandwich. If I'm at someone's house and I don't care to eat all that is given to me, I ask if they have something, I ask for a container (even if it's just a Baggie) so that I can take it home. 

As for the Dainish-- Grabbing something (food or otherwise) out of somebody's had is rude. I wouldn't want somebody to do it to me. On the other hand, generally things like a Danish is not real food. 

As for your soup-- YOu got upset because others didn't finish their food, yet you didn't finish yours.
