I will openly admit that I do sometimes. Most restaurants serve large portions and I just can't eat that much at one sitting! And unfortunately I am not a fan of leftovers for most foods. I try to order/cook accordingly but it doesn't always work out that way!

I try not to waste food, but If I dont finish whatever I may be eating at a restaurant I dont ask for a doggy bag.

No not at all. But if the food is bad or found some unwanted items in the food, then it got to be wasted.

No I dont .. If I do eat, then I will deinitely finish what I started .. else, i wont start eating that. I cant remember a time when I wasted food. Even in class, friends have faith in me when they have too much ;)

I try not to and I am very well organized but the nutrition value of food declines the longer you keep it, especially fresh fruit and vegetables so sometimes it is inevitable. It is no use keeping and eating food that has lost this nutrition value. Although I'm sure in developing countries this would not concern them, their main concern being to NOT STARVE. If you have a large family, most things get eaten very quickly, but when you're catering for one, it is often necessary to buy too much so you will waste some.

I try not to, but sometimes we just can't eat it all before it goes bad. I do try to only fix enough for our meal and one helping of leftovers and no more. But like I said, that doesn't always work out.
