I think if someone gives you the food, there’s no problem with eating it, especially if you let them know that you prefer food vegan food. I think it’s just more practical than potentially wasting food that has already been purchased and prepared.
The incentive (money) to continue producing meat has already been given to the industry, so unless you can give the food to someone who would already be eating meat, the waste is pointless.
Restaurants can definitely be difficult, though I feel like most places I go have vegetarian options if not completely vegan, but I live in a large, fairly progressive city.
