Kindness and Leftovers

“It’s not leftovers that are wasteful, but those who either don’t know what to do with them or can’t be bothered.”
~ Julian Baggini

On a recent weekend, I found myself leaving two social events with containers of food.  The first time, it was a children’s birthday party at a movie theatre.  The father had actually brought containers to share the leftovers with partygoers.  “I hate throwing away food,” he said as he handed me two containers filled with party food.  The second time was after the coffee hour at church.  One of the women who organized the coffee hour told me to go to the kitchen before I left because she had a box packed up for me.
