I'm the same. I find it helpful to try to give away food if it's still edible/safe and I know I shouldn't eat it. For example I received a free trial pack of crisps with my shopping full of gluten and other nasties so I put it in the lunch room at work for someone else and I discovered I was intolerant to coconut and still had half a jar of oil so I gave it to the charity shop for the staff along with some sugary chocolate bought for me by a friend. Sometimes I leave a bag of food in the stair of my flat with "free food" written on it and it always gets taken by someone.monotonic said:3D Student said:I'm a strong proponent of, "If it's still edible, eat it!" when cooking. :P
That works great if you're only cooking for yourself. Although even then, I've often been guilty of eating things I really shouldn't just because my father is nuts about not wasting food, and nearly made me nuts too.
