Ever been told as a kid to finish your food because there’s hungry kids in Africa?

Well, this is dad putting his money where his mouth is. If you can’t send the food to Africa because it would spoil, and you can’t find anyone else around who’d appreciate it (such as a homeless person or an impoverished neighbor), at least you can still avoid letting it go to waste.

As the other guy said, as long as he’s not also eating a whole portion of non-leftover food on top of it, there’s nothing wrong here. Well done, dad.
