      True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.

        Not eating the crust is eating less pizza!

        Do you stop eating when you are full, or do you polish off everything on your plate every time? Do you throw out food that has spoiled and feel bad because you didn’t eat it soon enough?

        Based on your logic someone shouldn’t ever eat pizza if they don’t enjoy the entirety of every slice. Do you judge people who pick off toppings they don’t like from a compromise pizza? What if they don’t eat every side that comes with a meal in a restaurant?

        What if they don’t drink their entire glass of water? WHY ARE THEY WASTING WATER?

          Well, basically yes to every question. Those all amount to waste and that is always a bad thing.

        Toss the crust

        • Pro: No additional negative effect on your enjoyment of the food or your body
        • Pro: compost and let the plants eat it
        • Con: You cease to be a grown ass man

        Eat the crust

        • Con: Negative enjoyment
        • Con: Extra Calorie consumed. More strain on the medical system.

        If anything, eating the crust would be the “wasteful” decision. I’m sure if it were possible to get the same pizza without crust, all of these people would jump on that chance.
