          because the excess is going to waste. why do you think ? sure, it doesnt directly affect hungry people, however:

          1. it is expensive
          2. it is increasing demand for food, raising the price
          3. if the food is still good, you can give it to someone who will appreciate it

          is it so hard to simply buy an appropriate amount of food ? or just eating the leftovers ?

            1. Not even in the top ten list of choices I make leading to not enough money
            2. Perhaps on the shortest timescale, but increasing the market for food reduces prices long term
            3. Refutes my original claim without argument, so I disagree unless you’ve got more to back this up.

      Especially if that’s food that’s going to negatively impact your own health, like junk food.
