Because if you respect the rice, you respect the farmer that has worked hard to produce it. That should lead you to caring a bit more to not waste the food. Granted in this mechanized world, that might be misplaced as it might have been produced by a fleet of robots for a corporation. There might be more complicated factors regarding food wastage. And so on. But since me and my family have started thinking this way, we are more careful of how much we cook, what we buy and how we consume. That has resulted in us hardly throwing away food due to excess/carelessness etc.
