In the Western world where obesity is rampant, why do you want to pressure people into eating more?
Generally speaking, the party-leftovers issue doesn't strike me as much of a problem. I suggest doing a back-of-the-envelope calculation of the harm it causes.
Well, because that's what the problem statement asked for! But yeah, it's probably a forgotten purpose: what should be optimized is the amount of food not wasted, not how much food remains at the end of the party.
It's not indeed! But it's a nice simple little world, I took it as an exercise in rationality.
