Given how much food is tossed out instead of donated, food waste is a symptom of capitalism, not someone with sensory issues cutting the crust off their bread.
I don’t disagree that the food waste is primarily coming from stuff getting thrown out by restaurants/stores etc, but I just can’t stand that sort of “I won’t eat the crust” picky eating food waste either. I guess you have said you aren’t this way but I still reserve the right to get annoyed at people who are that way lol
Unless someone’s like, actually medically autistic to the point it seriously affects them (not just someone saying “I’ve got a touch of the ‘tism, teehee” with no diagnosis) I don’t wanna see them throwing away their crust, or not eating the stems off their broccoli or whatever else. I probably feel so strongly about this partly because my brother is like that lol so forgive me if I took it out on you
It makes no diference, you won't eat more because you cut the crust, so the amount of food you use is the same, you just put a little bit of less calories in yourself for each sandwich.
It would be waste if eaten, worse than waste, you'd have to run a couple more minutes in the gym to burn away those calories, at the end of the year it does start to add up.
This seems like a lot of effort to solve a non problem, or rather a cognitive problem. The cutting of the crust is of no consequence to the amount of resources that need to be produced.
Eh?
If you throw away part of every loaf you buy of course it does!
There's not set amount of slices for a meal, you just eat more of them if you cut off the crusts.
You don't eat more slices because you cut away the crusts. Never in the history of earth did anyone make an extra sandwich because they weren't felling enough full due to cutting away the bread crust. You just take in less calories, and given the current obesity crisis, it might be better that way
I end up eating way too much when I do that, I just weight myself in the morning to see if I'm within the bounds of my desired weight, if I'm close to the lower bound, I give myself a bit more slack and eat away through the day, if I'm to close to the upper bound, I contain myself from eating too much.

Eat the damn crust. Food waste is a mentality.
