If it’s free then throwing it out costs nothing though, right?
but replacing it would cost something. throwing away perfectly good food isn't something most people think is a moral good.

this subthread was about beaver's misleading link.

For what the comment was responding to I think it was perfectly well framed, but you can extrapolate anything you want from it if that's your thing.
