      True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.

        Unless there is an option to cut a slice into a smaller slice, eating less than one serving size by discarding a portion of the food is still portion control.

          Of course there is.

          But the slice goes from tip to crust. No one else is going to eat your tip or crust, thus if someone discards it, it becomes waste.

            Nobody got good friends? Siblings? I’ll eat a random stranger’s unwanted pizza parts if I’m hungry.

            Just like the food that was thrown out due to not being served.

            Pizza crust is the cheapest waste. Like a few pennies per slice at most. Calling it wasteful is the most ridiculous stance to take.

        Not eating the crust is eating less pizza!

        Do you stop eating when you are full, or do you polish off everything on your plate every time? Do you throw out food that has spoiled and feel bad because you didn’t eat it soon enough?

        Based on your logic someone shouldn’t ever eat pizza if they don’t enjoy the entirety of every slice. Do you judge people who pick off toppings they don’t like from a compromise pizza? What if they don’t eat every side that comes with a meal in a restaurant?

        What if they don’t drink their entire glass of water? WHY ARE THEY WASTING WATER?

          Well, basically yes to every question. Those all amount to waste and that is always a bad thing.

        Toss the crust

        • Pro: No additional negative effect on your enjoyment of the food or your body
        • Pro: compost and let the plants eat it
        • Con: You cease to be a grown ass man

        Eat the crust

        • Con: Negative enjoyment
        • Con: Extra Calorie consumed. More strain on the medical system.

        If anything, eating the crust would be the “wasteful” decision. I’m sure if it were possible to get the same pizza without crust, all of these people would jump on that chance.
