This sub thread is filled with many examples of non Americans happy to take uneaten leftovers for later - it varies by country and culture.

> no-one who cares about food ever does

That's a bit universal for what's simply your opinion.

Even if they're non-Americans, this is a verily heavily American-influenced forum so the people here most probably have more American habits compared to the average people in their countries.

Yes, and that's a feature, not a bug, we're here to share our opinions, this is not a peer-reviewed forum.

With all that said, I still cannot understand how come a person who says he/she cares about food could eat re-heated takeaway stuff (supposedly at the microwave, which makes it double yuck-y).

If it’s your opinion, you may want to introduce it with "Personally, I would never …" instead of writing "no-one who cares about food ever does", which is obviously false.

There are other ways to re-heat food, you can mix with other things, you can also eat it cold if that’s your thing. It’s also not just about caring about food, it’s also caring about money: when you eat your leftovers, you don’t have to pay for new food.
