How much waste? This seems like a very insignificant thing to focus on. How much of a waste would it need to be to qualify as "important"?

Criticize the large slices, if they're unneeded. Don't criticize the small ones as a way of getting people to not like the large ones (if this is an uncharitable interpretation, tell me).
