    I have a co-worker who went home early yesterday because she said she was sick from detoxing from sugar. She is telling everyone today that she still feels sick from her detox. I asked her why she thought she needed to “detox”. After telling me that “ people” have told her sugar is very toxic, she also told me she didn’t eat yesterday until after she went home; then she felt better. I tried to point out that she probably just needed to eat, and that was why she didn’t feel well. I know I should just keep my mouth shut and stay out of it. You can’t really get through, can you?

    My only question is: "Are you in an environment where she got PTO for going home or did this cost her money?"

    That’s along the lines of what I was wondering and was surprised no one brought up the productivity loss of someone completely doing this to themselves. It would be akin to someone calling in sick from a hangover, which I’m sure people do, but it should be at some cost to them, IMO.

    Just seems like an incentive to fast my way into some time off.

    I wouldn't because that's malingering, but it's still advisable/desirable to plug those holes.

    Here's a clafoutis recipe in exchange. http://themessyapron.blogspot.com/2010/07/clafouti.html

    I'm using blueberries instead of cherries.
