bleu, there should be more people like you. OP is right, and I hope that more people will come to their senses in this regard. having the ability to pay for more meals does not mean you dont have the responsibility to use that ability properly.

in social justice class, we were taught that anything you waste, you have taken from somebody in need. if you can't finish it, hand it politely to someone who wants it.

of course, if the food is bad or something is wrong with it, it's also wrong to give it to the less fortunate, they might get sick.
