People throw away so much strawberry in an effort to cut the leaves off. Just eat the leaves. Next time you go to eat a strawberry, try eating the leaves too - they're very mild in flavor, and you waste no strawberry!

You pince of the leaves. Where do you imagine the waste?
Or you use a strawberry huller. These used to be common kitchen implements, but I've not seen one in a while.
With people making an effort to cut them off instead, presumably.
In 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.
Most 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.
Only in America.

Yes, that’s where the pesticide are. Can’t get enough pesticides.
Yeah you’re going to want to start by washing your produce
I started chewing the leaves. There's a hint of strawberry in them.
I 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.
I 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?
Same, 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 :)
White part under them tastes like nothing
Yeah I don’t buy strawberries if they have a white top
