Resturants and Seniors (or not so Hungry People)

I eat out occasionally, and am really bothered by the amount of food served. Being a senior, there's really no way I could, or should, eat the amount of food most restaurants serve. Yes, some have senior menu items, but not many, and the servings are not really that much smaller. Yes, I could request a "doggie bag", but these left-overs are many times not real suitable for reheating. It's not as much a question of money as it is of waste. That could add up to an awful lot of food that goes into the trash.

To prevent all this waste, restaurants need to either cut down on the amount they serve everyone, and charge a premium for those that really feel they have to have more, or simply offer a senior percentage discount.

Please stop the waste!!!!
