Ever since I've known my dearie, he's always been bothered by contests/gimmick events where tons of tomatoes, etc. are thrown around. Or eating contests where people consume huge amounts of 1 food.

For someone who used to be a part-time farmer, it bothers him. I never thought much about it until I knew him. And realized throwing food around, uneaten, is a waste of effort, time to grow the ingredient(s), prepare food, etc.
