tijlover..Great thread! I can totally relate to what you wrote and described...Geez! I tend to "feel too much!" I don't want to make anyone (or anything) feel rejected!..If I have to throw leftovers or bread away I usually say "I'm sorry." And feel bad about it!
I used to feel the same way about throwing out grocery items bought for a dish I was making, and couldn't use them all. What to do with those sad-looking green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes who were hoping to jump into that slow-cooker and feel needed!!!
Well, I've helped arrest my guilt, in those cases, by either digging them into my garden to compost or talk to them if I threw them into the trash:
"I'm so sorry there, green pepper, I bought too many! But you'll be serving a very good purpose composting in the city landfill helping to create rich new soil! Bye-bye!"

Only when I've been smoking da ganja, mon.
I once had a job at a potato factory sorting spuds - hours a day standing at the sorting machine throwing away spuds that were less that perfect. Casting those innocent potatoes, who only wanted a chance to be turned into delicious potato chips... They apparently ended up as pig food. It made me cold, heartless, hardly human...
Uh, no...food does not talk to me. And I don't feel "sorry" for ugly fruit. Ummm, have you considered meds? Maybe.....therapy?
Just a thought. Jasper agrees. (He is a cat, we have telepathy). Jasper also thinks we should have salmon every night for dinner. Okay, maybe it okay to talk to food after all.
I can hear the beef section beckoning me the second I enter the store. The beer case is also quite vocal.
