Do you always finish your plate?

i know some people are brought up to finish their plate, but I'm not. I never finish my plate. There are some reasons why I don't finish my plate: I'm full, I don't like the food, and I know the food doesn't do my body good. Well, in some restaurant, finishing our plate or leaving behind an empty plate means that we are still hungry and we want to eat more food. What about you?

I always finish my plate. Food in garbage is so wasteful. I don't put too much on my plate so it is easy to finish. In a restaurant I take it home for the next day.

I don't leave food in my plate at home or when in restaurant. This is what I was taught by my parents since childhood.

@sjvg1976 Yes, you're right. I realize there are many people out there who are unable to get food everyday. I leave a little food in my plate, but never throw it to the trash bin. I give it to the stray dogs or other animals, as in my place they seem to be ignored.

@A_loves_B If I am not being offered the food of my choice, I will not allow it to keep it on my plate. I would return it uneaten so that someone else could consume it.

@eliza_godinez12 If none of them is delicious, you won't eat at all?

@A_loves_B I do the same thing. Here in my country, be it at home or at restaurants, we have to finish our food.

Yes, I always finish the food on my plate. I only take what I need. I don't take a huge quantity. We should never waste food. There are many people who don't get food and starve themselves.
