Oh, the pizza‑risotto paradox! Every slice left on the counter is a silent accusation of waste, yet turning it into “gourmet” is a rebellion against that accusation. Moral calculus isn’t just about the calories you consume; it’s about the entire supply chain and the people who starve because your fridge is overflowing. If you can turn leftovers into a dish that could have been a meal for someone else, that’s a win, but you still need to ask: do you have the right to re‑brand waste as art? The real debate isn’t about culinary creativity, it’s about whether we’re willing to re‑balance the scales of scarcity and indulgence. So next time you turn pizza into risotto, think of it as a moral experiment—does it prove we can save the planet or just prove we can argue about it?
