In America, it is not necessary to "clean your plate," or eat everything on it!. It is also consider impolite as well as unsanitary to take someone else's plate when they are finished and eat what is left!. Occasionally close family members or close friends might do this, but in general it is considered rude!.
Americans have a problem with serving portions!. I never eat everything I am served because it is always way too much!. This is part of the reason America has such an obesity problem!.

Do you at least ask before you start eating off someone else's plate!? Etiquette states that you should always leave a bit of food on your plate as to not appear as if you did not get enough to eat!. You don't want to offend the host or hostess!. Not word for word, but you get the idea, hopefully!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
all of the restaurants ive been to serve too big of portions!. but whatever i cant finish i take home in foam trays and eat it later!. So im not necessarily wasting food!. and since your not from america, my advice is to check with someone who is, about customs in america, u might be suprised how different we are compared to other countries!.!.!.!.

because America is a nation of overweight people!. We eat too much!. Leaving food on the plate is our way of eating less!. "Look, I didnt eat it ALL!."
Its wasteful, I know!. What we really need to do is learn to take less!. Or if we are eating out and they have big portions, share with the people with us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's in our culture to be wasteful!. Whatever we don't eat, we throw it out!. It is extremely unusual for someone to attempt to finish what someone else didn't eat in a public place - it's something that is expected of homeless people in america, someone who cannot afford their own meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Americans are fat & their eyes are bigger than their stomach, they want 2 eat everything in sight that looks good but cant handle it all!. Or maybe the thought of being fat makes them not want 2 finish!. Taking other peoples food theyve already picked at isnt sanitary & pretty pig-ish though lolWww@FoodAQ@Com
well people can get full of their food and doesn't want it anymore!. but sometimes we will eat all of it!. its not that they don't like the food, they are probably just full!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Their
eyes are bigger than their stomach's, therefore the waste!.
And to think millions are starving as I write these words just make me sick !Www@FoodAQ@Com
