Well, lots of us were parented to not throw food away. Just the thought of someone always cutting off the crust when they're eating bread, that does irk me in that sense, too.
But as someone else in this thread already said, with proper bread, the crust is actually good. Then it just seems really strange to cut off the interesting part of the bread and to just want the samey stuff in the middle.
Just because you cut off the crust doesn't mean you throw it away.
You can use it in all sorts of dishes, or even just dip em in egg yolk
I've been thinking about this. But stores throw out whole breads when they become too old. And they throw out plenty since people want stores to be stocked all day so there still is bread available at the end of the day. So in a year stores throw out more than you'd throw out if you cut the crusts off.
Since then I don't really care anymore. Somtimes I eat the crusts, other times I cut them off and throw them out. And yes, I know they can still be used for all sorts of things, but none of those are usefull to me.
