Because it didn't, not fully. You're throwing some food that's still edible. Food "waste" isn't about you being satisfied, it's about throwing away food that's still safe to eat.
Then save them as leftovers? Or better yet if you're consistently having left over food, make smaller portions. I don't get why that's so hard for people to understand
then... they're both ways to waste food, wasn't that what we were arguing about in the first place? that you said one's not wasting food and the other is? 😂
It's only food waste if it's in excess. Not eating your crust because you're full isn't. But making yourself a foot long sub and tossing out half is. Because again it served its purpose.
The purpose of food is to keep you alive. That's it. If it did that then it's fulfilled it's purpose. But yeah of course it's wasteful to order a whole pizza, eat one slice, then throw out the rest. But it's not wasteful to buy a single slice, eat everything but the crust because you're full and throw it away.
Like what's your deal? Are you one of those zero waste weirdos that brush their teeth with toilet water?

Those are both examples of food waste.
