Edit:
Humans aren't robots folks, if there's consistently some excess food being disposed of it could simply mean there's slightly less going into the wastebin.
And regarding TP, I don't know about you, but I tend to be wasteful with TP when the roll is fresh and increasingly frugal as the roll approaches empty.
This is all highly subjective but the fact is people tend to be inconsistent and wasteful.
You need to track normalized unit costs for such data to be reliable. Package sizes are constantly being manipulated, period.

- jonnycomputer 5y agoWouldn't it though? I mean, caloric intake doesn't fluctuate much. If smaller sizes were ending up leaving this person hungry, presumably they'd end up buying more to compensate.
- wonderwonder 5y agoNot generally. Vast majority of people eat well past simple hunger satiation. In regards to non edible goods, a few less sheets per paper towel role would likely not be noticed in the short term but taken over a year would like reflect an extra role or 2 purchased.
