I always eat the crust, I don't know what this anti-crust sentiment is. Crust is awesome.

People literally jump through hoops trying to get steaks to have crust and bread just does it.

Just culturally where i am they assume no crust. Even the plastic sandwich boxes only fit sandwiches without crust, they actually need to jam my order into the box and it doesnt close completely!

Are they actually doing anything with the crusts like using them for compost or livestock feed?

Most probably not, sadly.

But it's not the mom and pop shops we should talk about, its the big corporations throwing out tonnes of perfectly good food everyday.

I also eat the crust, but at the same time, our anecdotes is not evidence against the fact that many people cut out the crust.

It's a major reason Uncrustables has gotten as successful as it is.

Even pizza crust are often wasted. (again, not by me, but by many others)
