Since you take pride in your veganism, I will offer you congratulations.

Yes, with modern food industry, it is a lot easier to stay vegan while also being healthy than it used to, but there still remains a degree of difficulty in giving up any tastes you particularly enjoy from the non-vegan side of things.

If you don't mind my asking, what is your style of veganism? Totally strict? Or are you allowed milk? And/or, are you allowed to use eggs, since those are never fertilized (thanks to birds being weird) and thus having no issues since they never actually take a potential life of a potential future chicken?

I am no vegan. But don't think I can't understand the thinking that leads to it.

I will say just this: In the event meat (or other food, but its especially strong with animal-based food) is in front of me on a table, I will feel obligated to ensure it is not wasted. For my belief is that it is far more disrespectful to life to throw something away when you could consume it, than it is to consume it. If something has lived to give you sustenance, then you at least owe it to them to not waste that existence.

Wasting food is something I dislike a good deal. But this applies to another level when it comes to wasting food from an animal. You can consider it in some veins similar to veganism, perhaps. While obviously different as well.

The short version: Don't. Waste. Food. There are rare times when, no really, you eventually must get rid of it without consuming it (like an old carton of open yogurt-milk you have left alone for a month or something), but my personal belief when it comes to food is that, no matter where the food comes from, you must respect it. And should an event occur that requires you to waste food, that you should not do so without at least regret.
