I really loathe people who don't eat pizza crust...

That is not goo advice. If you like any unhealthy food, eat it in moderation. Always be aware of calories too because one cheat meal can turn into a mini binge
The food waste argument is, in most cases, ridiculous. You don't select the *exact* size of the pizza, it comes as it comes. Unless you literally count the calories that you get from eating the crust, and then eat other food (that you don't get in a pre-determined size) less the equal amount in calories, it doesn't apply. If you're one of the extremely rare people who literally do that, that's awesome! But let's face it, practically nobody does it.
As for the privilege, everyone living in the western countries is privileged as fuck compared to so many people in the world. Not eating pizza crust, because you don't like it, or because you got full already, will hardly sign your privilege. Jesus.
n00bs7ay3r, I can bet there are tons of people who are way less privileged than you, but choose not to eat the crust, because when they can afford to order pizza, they just want to get the taste and they get full without eating the crust. It might even be that the pizza is a fucking luxury to them, and when they can afford that luxury, they just want to have the good part and couldn't give a fuck about the part they find boring as fuck. In a way, ironically it's sort of privileged to be able to have the time and energy to worry about pizza crusts.
Food waste is a huge problem, but you should apply it primarily when people can select the exact amount of food people can have before getting full.
Please do that.
Please start a fight over someone not eating pizza crusts, and post results of that with video footage.
I remember I tried not being wasteful and eating the ends. Driest shit ever. Lol. I just toss them.
You are right that huge waste is a huge problem and it should be something that is on everybody's mind every time they consume food. Food consumption is something that literally every single human being engages with multiple times a day and how we choose to consume food has a massive impact on the environment and the economy. Throwing away edible food that you chose to buy is unethical. Having the ability to throw away food at all is definitely a sign of privilege.
And yes I fully acknowlege that my knowledge about this problem and my ability to think about it, engage with it, and make decisions to reduce my impact and encourage others to do the same are a result of my privilege.
This is the only time I won't eat crust.
I don't like wasting food.
Pizza Hut's Thin Crust is the only kind I won't eat. It's like just eating crackers and for some reason, I don't care for that.
Any other kind, and I'm fine though. Stuffed Crust, of course, I paid for that shit! But if it's just "normal crust", then I'll eat it from any other chain. Just not that thin crust.

Depends on:
Is the crust flavored or stuffed?
Do I want all those empty carbs for shit crust?
Do I have dipping sauce?
Am I drunk?

Like yeah sure, in principle I agree with you. It'd be awesome if people ate all the food they get (without overeating). But the reality is, people especially in western countries do all kind of shit every day that's way, way worse. It's fine (and good) to critique even the smaller things, but there's a line between critique and directly moralizing people with a holier-than-thou attitude. The latter one I don't think is sensible in this case.
People who don't eat pizza crusts are the same ones who cut crusts off of bread.
It's just wasteful.
It's just wasteful.
If I'm eating a specific brand of frozen pizza (that by coincidence I just had a few hours ago), by the end of the consumption the crust is generally pretty thick and cold, so I don't eat it.
(dipping it in some sauce is a good idea though, I would like to try it)
I also try to avoid eating charred crust, when it comes up.
But when I'm eating decent pizza, I'll eat the crust 99% of the time, because it's actually good.

Man why is everyone so angry on this thread. Maybe people want to get full on the dough plus toppings and not get full on just bread. Also, if you are full you should stop eating. Eating past when you are full leads to obesity, and sometimes you can't buy the exact amount of pizza to make you full but have no waste whatsoever.
This is my thought. If I won't be able to finish the pizza anyways (I can only eat 2-3 slices, so often times there is leftovers), why would I waste my stomach space on the bread? I want the toppings.
However, if I'm super hungry, or I run out of pizza, or I have dipping sauce, or I have stuffed-crust.....gimme that crust.
We're gonna find out who you are, we're gonna hunt you down and we're gonna feed you pizza crust until you stomach explodes. Pizza crust...of Hawaiian pizza.
You had me at doughy and lost me at plastic tasting lol.
OP I'm all for the crusts no matter what style of pizza. I'm not gonna discriminate if it's thin crust, deep dish, or regular.
Depends on the pizza. Costco type base is a crime to not eat crust.
Some crusty bread type crust? Bin it.

You're eating pizza, not eating crusts to be healthy is not seeing the forest through the trees.
silverx: (eats meatpocalypse pizza, leaves the crust)
