Relatives love wasting food, and I usually wait until the last second to take it and eat it, I really hate it, and nagging them hasn't changed anything.

So what's your opinion on this? Or what do you do?

I don't but realistically I don't think it's a significant moral issue if someone is scavanging stuff thrown out, like "freegans" or whatever. I just think it's gross, like if someone ate another human they didn't kill.

Eating stuff at family gathering might create incentives for excess and/or send the wrong message though. e.g. that secretly you want it (reenforcing that animal ag is desirable) or that nobody can actually be vegan.

Yeah I do eat non vegan that people throw out but try to be careful about toeing the line. I don't want to make it look like I was hoping there would be some meat for me, but if someone is literally holding a plate over a trash can I will stop them and eat it
