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)
maybe if you have space you could make like a separate "animal products" compost bed and use the compost from it to fertilize flowers or something? i think it's fine to "waste" food when the alternative is eating dead things or byproducts of industrial SA, but if you want to avoid waste anyways i think this could work. i suppose the ethics of this could be questionable, but I think if you avoid using it to grow produce and just use it as a simultaneous burial/enrichment of the local ecosystem it would be fine
