Some accept sallah food cos they don’t want to look rude/unfriendly. Especially if given without asking.

Now when you give someone food they never asked you for, then understand you can’t force them to eat it.

That’s not “hate” or “evil”.
It’s simply their right not to eat it.
So this tweet- as expected- is getting misinterpreted.

I will NEVER waste food.
I will NEVER decline food either.
But that is me. I can’t speak for others.

I’m saying if you offer people food they never asked you for, understand they may “accept” for peace sake and not eat it.
I said they have a right not to eat it.
That’s NOT equal to they have a right to throw it away. Don’t misquote me.

They can give their gatemen, maids or anybody else who may be less fortunate than them.

Their right not to eat it is NOT equivalent to throwing it in the bin.
“Just say no”

That is the simple way out in an ideal world. But that’s not realistic for everyone.

Some people will rather accept it to avoid bad blood and enmity. They may then give someone else.

I’m not defending them.
I’m just explaining to you how hard these things can be.
