A few of our devotees here keep throwing prasadam they can't finish off in

garbage. They load their plates. They can't honor (eat) the whole thing then

the rest they toss in garbage.

 

I consider this most abominable. I tried to bring to their attention that

throwing away of food is not acceptable, what to speak of throwing away

prasadam.

 

How would Srila Prabhupada react to such things?

 

I've found one quote in the VedaBase:

 

 

Yes, do not take too much foodstuffs; take so that no remnants are left.

Immediately after, the dishes should be washed, or paper dishes thrown away.

But do not throw away prasadam. Better to take a little less than to have

leftover for saving. That is not good.
