While I agree with the OPs post, I think focusing on what other people eat and shaming them for it when they've ordered a single dessert might be taking it a bit far.
I have noticed because she barely touched the food on the previous starter and main courses. The plates/trays were almost full when taken away from the CC.
When it came to dessert time, I remember thinking to myself "Why does she order again if she didn't eat almost anything so far?"
To me this is food waste as well as taking too much in a lounge and leaving it there.
