You pince of the leaves. Where do you imagine the waste?
replyOr you use a strawberry huller. These used to be common kitchen implements, but I've not seen one in a while.
replyWith people making an effort to cut them off instead, presumably.
replyIn at least some varieties of strawberries, the top of the berry has the least flavor and sweetness, and the bottom has the most, so I don't feel like I'm losing much.
replyMost mass-produced strawberries people eat today are basically white on the inside and relatively flavorless to the real thing anyway, I don't think most people miss out if they eat or not the top of the berry.
replyYes, that’s where the pesticide are. Can’t get enough pesticides.
replyYeah you’re going to want to start by washing your produce
replyI started chewing the leaves. There's a hint of strawberry in them.
replyI just hold it by the leaves in my fingers and take a huge bite of the entire berry with my teeth ending right before the leaves.
replyI just rip the leaves off, which is very easy with the variety we eat here. I never would have thought to cut them off. Are your two strawberries different?
replySame, sometimes this lead to me eating a bit of the leaves, sometimes I leave a bit of strawberry, but no one died yet, so I continue :)

replyWhite part under them tastes like nothing
replyYeah I don’t buy strawberries if they have a white top
