A real adult knows not to eat empty carbs.
If you're already eating pizza then you're not really worried about carb intake.
What is portion control anyway?
True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.
Pizza is cut by the slice. That's the portion
Unless there is an option to cut a slice into a smaller slice, eating less than one serving size by discarding a portion of the food is still portion control.
Of course there is.
But the slice goes from tip to crust. No one else is going to eat your tip or crust, thus if someone discards it, it becomes waste.
Nobody got good friends? Siblings? I'll eat a random stranger's unwanted pizza parts if I'm hungry.
Nasty
Just like the food that was thrown out due to not being served.
Pizza crust is the cheapest waste. Like a few pennies per slice at most. Calling it wasteful is the most ridiculous stance to take.
This is a thread about pizza and portion size, not comparing pizza to other foods.
Your mom is a pizza.
And you will eat her crust
Eat less pizza then instead of wasting food.
Not eating the crust is eating less pizza!
Do you stop eating when you are full, or do you polish off everything on your plate every time? Do you throw out food that has spoiled and feel bad because you didn't eat it soon enough?
Based on your logic someone shouldn't ever eat pizza if they don't enjoy the entirety of every slice. Do you judge people who pick off toppings they don't like from a compromise pizza? What if they don't eat every side that comes with a meal in a restaurant?
What if they don't drink their entire glass of water? WHY ARE THEY WASTING WATER?
Well, basically yes to every question. Those all amount to waste and that is always a bad thing.
Toss the crust
Eat the crust
If anything, eating the crust would be the "wasteful" decision. I'm sure if it were possible to get the same pizza without crust, all of these people would jump on that chance.
Yeah. There's nothing wrong with the crust, but if you're going to blow your carb budget on a pizza at least keep the pleasure:carb ratio as high as possible.
As mentioned above: if the crust is not delicious you’re eating a bad pizza
Empty carbs in moderation are fine, it's not like they're poisonous or anything.
It sure is!
I'm just disagreeing with the idea that eating every part of prepared food is some kind of obligation.
Fair. It does seem a bit inefficient to make the crust and then not eat it though
I used to think like the OP/image, but now I'm in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don't enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.
I understand the food waste argument, but it's wasted whether you eat it or not. You're wasting just as much if you don't eat the peel of the banana.
