I don't mean to defend them with what I'm about to say. I 100% think not eating leftovers as a grown adult is stupid and wasteful. If you're gonna refuse leftovers just portion your cooking. However, if P or whoever else has decided that they won't eat leftovers, I really don't get what's so bad about giving them to Abbie? Is the argument/consensus on here that they all should take part in eating the leftovers? Or that they should just throw them away instead of giving them to Ab? I doubt these guys compost and food waste is just as bad as other forms of waste if you're sending it to a landfill because it will release methane gas. Then of course there is the actual monetary waste factor, as well. Abbie clearly does not care what she eats. Leftovers versus freshly cooked probably makes little difference to her. Why not give her leftovers to avoid food waste? I get that she's not a garbage disposal, but idk if I think giving her leftovers is treating her as less-than if she doesn't even know the difference and is happy with any food you put in front of her. I know it might be offensive to some of us if it happened to us, but Abbie doesn't think like us. Hell, my brother IS NT but a 6'2 19 years old college swimmer and gym nut who goes through food like crazy. He will eat anything. I obviously don't live with my parents anymore but I know that they give him leftovers or stuff from the fridge they're trying to get rid of because he will eat any and everything and he doesn't mind. They've been doing that for years. I know a lot of families with "garbage disposal" sons who do this, actually. (We playfully call my brother a garbage disposal and he laughs and agrees.) My cousins who are also male dudes are the same way. I guess I would get it if they were forcing that food on her when she obviously doesn't want it, but has Abbie ever seemed unhappy or tried to refuse the leftovers they give her? Asking because it's definitely possible that she did and I just missed it. If not, I guess I don't take huge issue with it. Better than just throwing it out.
Similarly to the dirty feet thing, the leftovers critique seems too nitpicky to me, but hey this is a gossip site, to each their own. I'm open to having my mind changed. That's just my 2 cents.
