This happens at our family gatherings all the time. Our day-to-day consumption habits are a lot healthier than our "treat ourselves at a family gathering" food selection. At the end of the gathering, everyone "fights" (politely, but very insistently) not to be the ones to take it home, 'cause they'll be forced to not let it go to waste. I usually throw these because I don't mind binning unhealthy food I can easily replace rather than further harming my health. The latter is a far more useful and expensive acquisition than a quarter-pound of $25/lb cheese.
