Food Police

I just sat down to enjoy my lunch - a protein and veggie filled salad from our company cafeteria - and it just tasted wrong. So very, very, very horribly wrong. Turns out that they decided to swap out the regular Ranch dressing with some low-fat, low-calorie, low-happiness-and-joy imitation of Ranch dressing without telling anyone. I only found out because I went back and checked the label on the salad bar and instead of the usual 140 calorie/ounces, it said 80 calories/ounce. Ummmmm excuse-me-very-much, but WTH kind of Ranch dressing only has 80 calories/ounce? Apparently a slimy, flavorless, sad, sneaky version.
I hate food police
Does anyone want to help me with a strongly worded letter to corporate? Or I may stage a protest. Or maybe a rage quit is in order...

Strip naked, cover yourself in ranch, and stage a sit-in in the corporate lobby.0

I eat ranch and melted butter and lose a pound a week (so far). It can be done! It's actually pretty easy.

Only if you eat too much of either. I'm not giving up my butter.0 -

Neither Ranch or melted butter will stop you losing weight unless you're over your calories.
OP i think you need to fill a Super Soaker with crappy Ranch and go on a rampage in the offices of upper management.0 -

I detest low cal Ranch dressing too but if they labeled it right on the salad bar then it wasn't exactly a sneaky switch. That is kind of the opposite of sneaky.
Maybe someone else at your company hassled and raged at them for months for not having low cal dressing so they got the nastiest they could find as payback.0 -

Speaking of food police...

I tried Ken's fat-free italian when I was first getting in to the calorie cutting biz. Tasted like sour *kitten* (of course it did. Italian dressing is supposed to be made with oil. What do you use to substitute oil that's fat free? *kitten*. That's what.). The low-fat ranch they use in our cafeteria isn't half bad.0

Yeah don't even get me started on butter. You would have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.0 -
I eat ranch and butter too. Gotta be satisfied!0

I eat. . . .wait for it...buttermilkranch. . . ..true story.0

OP, can you just ask the cafeteria manager if they can get the old ranch back?0
-
Why can't they have both? Is there a ranch dressing quota that they have to meet?
All else fails, bring your own!0 -
they put the salad out dressed? so it can get soggy and gross?0

Do they have a suggestions/comments diary at the cafeteria?
Ours does (Aramark in Germany) and I leave comments there all the time. They sometimes listen!

The more calories you save from not eating their ranch dressing, the more Reese you can eat for dessert.0

To be fair, your buttery fingers would be quite slippery and the butter "pry-able". 0 -

This, and if just you asking isn't enough, get a petition going.
Or see if they can have both, as someone else suggested.
