people throw away the crust? is this an American thing?
Not enough corn syrup on that bit.
i think they just love wasting food at this point.
If you don’t feel like eating the crust, you’re having a shitty pizza.
Agreed. Just crushed a pizza and the crust was awesomely good
But I like the cheese and topping part a lot more so way eat extra calories?
Alternatively…
🥺
👉👈
Make me?
Apparently you’ve been eating substandard pizza, because really good pizza crust is a delight unto itself.
However if you insist you only like the toppings, you have 2 choices:
-
Find a life partner who loves crust.
-
Just bake the toppings in/on a sheet pan and eat them directly from it, without crust.
-
But my dog loves the crust and I don’t so when I get pizza he gets really happy
Why should I take that away from him lol
Throwing away the crust is just wasting food.
Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.
Ah yes, I’m a grown-ass adult and I take orders from a meme.
The US political system in a nutshell 😂😅🥲😭
You clearly forgot to order your pizza with cheese-filled crust
I tried that once. Didn’t even taste much better. And now I’m vegan so unless its mock cheese I’ll never have a chance to try it again.
But I’m fat and don’t want the extra carbs.
The crust is probably the healthiest part of the entire pizza tbh.
What the hell are you putting on pizza that a burnt piece of bread is the healthiest part?
The rest is soaked in fat, the crust barely has any. Maybe a bit of spillage.
The crust is(most of the tine) the best part of the pizza. I sometimes only eat the crust
No its not. Why would i want to eat a piece of boring bread, when there is a combination of thats same bread, cheese, tomato, and what ever toppings i choose.
Saying “Crust is the beat part” is just dumb and blatantly non-sensical when you look at pizza as a whole.
I disagree and you are wrong. Plus you’re lacking in intellectual prowess.
I’m a grown ass man. I’ll eat or don’t eat what i damn well please.
Fuck that.
- You’re a grown ass adult, eat whatever you want
If you don’t like the taste of crust and have enough money that you don’t need to make use of every piece of food, then don’t eat the crust.
If you don’t like the taste of crust but think it has some benefit, then eat the crust.
If you don’t like the taste of crust but are broke and want to eat the crust to feel full so you can spend more money on other stuff, then eat the crust.
If you like the taste of crust but want to save the crusts to make an art piece out of them, then don’t eat the crust.
YOU’RE AN ADULT, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, DON’T LET SOCIETY PRESSURE YOU TO DO OTHERWISE
Counterpoint: Society should be pressuring people not to increase food waste just because they can afford throw stuff away for no reason.
If you eat food just because you “Don’t want to waste it”, you become the wastebin.
I’ll mail the leftover crusts to “children in Africa”, maybe that will solve the world hunger.
Or, you know, someone in need nearby. There are homeless people eating out of garbage and families using food banks everywhere. But then you’d also look like an asshole for just giving them a bunch of crusts instead of a whole slice.
How about just not buying more food than you can eat? Or save a couple of slices for the next day? Or give someone else a slice before you fill up on the inner circle of your plate of food?
Have you ever been outside?
-
Homeless people aren’t just everywhere. Normal countries deal with homeless people properly - they house them and take care of them
-
I don’t know how much pizza I’m going to get at a restaurant.
-
I don’t always go home, so boxing leftovers is not always an option.
It’s almost like idiotic blanket statements like “be a man, eat the crust” are fucking moronic.
Be an adult and treat your body with respect. Listem do your stomach and your brain, not what some weirdos online think is “the right thing to do”.
Plus, if I leave the crust, it signals the restaurant that the portion is too big.

People throwing away crust isn’t even a grain of sand in the ocean of food waste. But as stated in my original comment, you can choose to eat the crust if that feels important to you. And even though you would be wrong for pressuring other people to eat crusts, the other person should do whatever the fuck they want despite your pressuring
This opinion is a similar vein as “there’s no point recycling plastic because most plastic waste is caused by industry”. We are all grains of sand on this earth. And in turn we are all full of microplastics.
Plastics recycling doesn’t happen much because it is an expensive process, and new plastic is too cheap. Even if you put it in the blue recycling bin, it’s fairly unlikely that it actually gets recycled and used again.
Metals actively get recycled well. Paper and glass recycle okay, but in practice also face problems.
Some coverage:

Yes there is a problem with more disposable, non-recyclable plastics being used. Of course that’s on industry to fix. That does not mean plastic recycling is pointless. If you’re in the privileged position to literally have a bin specifically for that, recyclable plastics will be filtered out and recycled. If you have that and they don’t, that’s on your municipality to fix. Deciding to not bother with the process which is right there in front of you because you read it’s “not 100%” is super dumb.
Waste management experts say the problem with plastic is that it is expensive to collect and sort. There are now thousands of different types of plastic, and none of them can be melted down together. Plastic also degrades after one or two uses. Greenpeace found the more plastic is reused the more toxic it becomes.
New plastic, on the other hand, is cheap and easy to produce. The result is that plastic trash has few markets — a reality the public has not wanted to hear.
From the NPR source I listed earlier. Industry has no interest or ability in fixing this issue by recycling, and vanishingly few municipalities are likely to subsidize plastics recycling to a level at which it makes an appreciable dent in plastic waste.
The plastics industry has cynically forwarded the idea of plastics recycling despite knowing it was unfeasible. We need to drastically reduce plastic use, and probably limit the types of plastic produced for the sorting problem to be mitigated enough that recycling or a clean disposal method is feasible.
Right. As I said (whether or not they have interest) the fix for usage, production and sorting is on them. Much like if you have plastics recycling available, it is absolutely on you to use it.
Plastic is a finite resource that is not going to disappear from global usage any time soon. Just throwing your hands up and saying “only x% actually gets recycled” or “where I live they don’t do it well” is just adding to the existing problem.
Just fucking recycle.
Actually there’s no point in recycling plastic because the plastic you put in the recycling bin ends up in a landfill anyway, so yes we should be going after the industries instead of blaming individuals
That very much depends on where you live. Deciding to not recycle because you think it doesn’t get done properly in your locality is just as dumb as not recycling because you think industry is a bigger polluter.
I understand that climate change isn’t being entirely caused by you not recycling properly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a shitty move to just say fuck it and not even bother trying.
Really doesnt matter where you live. Recycled plastic has limited reuses and sorting plastics is a nightmare so much that the majority that is recycled is used in composites.
Something like 5% of the plastic production is recycled and that number continues to dwindled.
Imagine, long after humans are extinct and the things we created are obliterated or decayed into their component parts. Other life has taken over and the planet has done its volcanic and plate shifting things, the rains and oceans have done their erosion. Then another highly intelligent species evolves.
First of all they’re going to have a hard time with their industrial revolution because we took all the easy metals and fossil fuels, but maybe the planet has had enough time to churn some things up.
This new species marvels at the qualities of a certain stratified layer rarely observed above ground. Eventually drilling leads to a discovery of this layer over most of the earth. And it’s fucking plastic.
5% worldwide? It absolutely matters where you live. Look at progressive countries and you will see that it is not that low a percentage when people actually make an effort: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/waste/waste-packaging/pong/tables-and-graphs/recycling-targets/
None of this knowledge is a reason to not use recycling when it is available. When you have a waste bin and a recycling bin and just put plastics in the waste, that’s a douche move.
guess you never learned to finish your plate.
there’s kids starving in Africa for fucks sake
Yeah me not cleaning my plate doesn’t magically give them food.
This person doesn’t eat the crust
I fully agree with them and i eat the crust
I fully agree with them and I don’t eat pizza.
Being a grown ass man means you dont have to
