Is it normal to not eat the first & last slices of a loaf of bread?

So, is it normal to leave the first & last pieces of bread in the bag & just throw it away after all the other pieces have been eaten?

    I used to be like this when I ate store bought bread. The only times I would eat the first and last slices were if I made French toast but their wrinkled-ness was still very unpleasant.

    Growing up I was always told never to eat the 1st slice; just take the slices from behind it. I was always told that it kept the bread from going stale/getting hard. I still do it and have no idea if it is true.

    I never though of giving those to the birds... but feeding the wild life is illegal haha. But I do this also... I make my bf eat them... he likes it any ways.

    i don't eat those either. i just usually keep them in the bag to keep the bread from hardening then i either throw it away or give it to the birds atthe park.

    That's the most nutritious part of a loaf of bread. So you should eat those first before someeone else does or throw it away.

    The ends of the bread suck. Feed it to the birds, they are unfit for human consumption.

    I do. I find that it's not as fresh as the middle of the loaf.

    Birds, shmurds, turds. Birds have their own food. I don't care about the birds. If I throw the bread away, then maggots and flies can eat it.
