The idea of food being wasted is a HUGE trigger for me as I get older. Like, I've always been uncomfy and sad about it, but lately? It's been an extreme reaction. For example, my sis in law works for sonic, and they have 50ยข corndogs on Mondays, and so the gm ordered thirty cases with sixty corndogs each. They sold six cases, and will have to chunk the rest soon. I was enjoying a nice piece of fish for dinner and thought of that, and I legit like, started semi unconsciously shoveling it in my mouth as much and as quickly as possible. I do this with foods I get sick off of too, and I should very probably talk to a therapist about it
So, your reaction is definitely extreme, but also... holy SHIT that's SO MUCH waste hsggjzjgzgjzgjdjhx???
