I've heard some vegans say that, regardless of whether it'll be waste or not, consuming animal products reinforces the notion that animal products are for consumption. Like, if someone unjustly kills a person, it'd be hard to stomach eating their remains just to make sure their body can have use after their tragic death. It can be a difficult subject to navigate, but I personally wouldn't eat animal products even in the case of potential waste. I just can't bring myself to do it.
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?
It's not your fault that the people around you aren't vegan and that they waste food. You're already doing well by being vegan. You can instead just try to not waste your own food!
Eh, I don't care much about ideological purity. I generally find animal products aversive, in a similar manner to that which I would find human bodies presented as food or tools aversive.
If you want to eat somebodies table scraps I don't think it counts much one way or the other, but I would be cautious about the message it sends to carnists who may interpret it as a secret desire.
Oh also eventually you'll start getting mad sick when you eat animal products so the problem takes care of itself haha.
I know right, they smell so weirdly thick.
It's strange how the body and mind adapt to whatever is presented as normal.
Is there a mental disorder to explain the this need to not "waste" food? Like I don't know if I just hate leftovers, but always feel I have to eat everything "on my plate" So to speak. It makes it really hard to cook for myself. Maybe just something ADHD related?
It's just something really fucks with me. It could come from the absolute mycophobia I have for food mold. I can't even buy fresh food to leave in my fridge unless I know it's something I WILL cook in the next 48 hours.
