I got into Veganism about 8 months ago now, and it was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Where it got difficult for me was when food was getting wasted. I have always been really good about not wasting things, and even eating other people's food if it was going to waste. Problem is nobody else around me eats vegan. At first I would eat the food anyway, and just continue eating plant-based as I normally would, but I've reached a point where I don't even want to eat animal product at all, so it goes to waste. Has anybody else had, or have, this problem, or is it just some autistic "quirk" I have involving inefficiency and waste.
(also happens at restaurants on the rare chance that I actually go, get something, and they get the order wrong)
Something else to keep in mind is the fact that you didn't choose to order and then waste an animal product.
The people who did ought to mitigate their own waste and/or sit with the implications of their decision. Why help them evade that after the fact?
