How is it morally wrong to throw away something I know I'm not going to finish? What am I supposed to do with it? I can't buy smaller sizes. It would be morally wrong if I bought 5 loafs of bread and threw out 4. Then I agree.

The morally wrong part is with not finishing it later. Stick it in the fridge and eat it for lunch or evening snack next day. Or make a meal which includes the leftovers as ingredients (leftover pasta sauce goes as pizza topping, and so on)

It obviously depends on the circumstances. I am more talking about the pattern of wasting, than accidentally wasting food now and then.
