    Every time someone buys a honey bun or coke from my store, I just look at them and say, "do you even know how many calories is in that??" Then I suggest they eat eggs for breakfast and salad for lunch.

    Remind me to never go to your store. Your suggestions are unwarranted (and very easily mean) unless they ask your opinion. Join the second poster club.

    Someone point this lady in the right direction.

    I think she was joking.

    Who else gets to the checkout at the grocery store with a cart full of fresh veges, fish and meat with little or no processed foods and secretly hopes that the cashier will comment?

    I don't. I'm pretty much oblivious to what others eat, buy or think of me. Why would I care what the cashier thinks or says?

    LOL....yeah....that's me, though I can't say I have no processed foods...but way more produce than I used to have. I actually have had a checker tell me, "thanks for brushing me up on my produce codes"...which I thought was pretty cool.

    I don't really pay it too much mind if I have a large variety of things. However, I do wonder what the cashier is thinking when my items consist of, say, 2 dozen condoms, wood glue, popsicles, and peanut butter.

    Or... duct tape, vodka, nylon rope, and a cheap pink stuffed animal. And pretzel M&M's



    lmao to funny

    I don't really put much thought in what the cashier thinks and I don't really look at what other people are buying either. I am usually trying to get my kids to be have, so I can hurry and get the heck out.

    I don't take too much notice of other people's trolleys, but if mine is full of junk I get a bit self conscious and have been known to put junk back :o) either that or I just pretend I'm stocking up for a party by adding a few party hats!! (anyone need any party hats I have about 1000....)

    Honestly may favorite is when I go to the grocery store right after the gym wearing a tank top and all I buy are fatty pork products, ice cream and beer. I'm like, what? I LIVE off this stuff!

    I'm so head-bent-down, avoid-eye-contact when I go out where humans are, I don't react to much of anything other than being told how much my bill is. That includes seeing what other people buy.

    I get all my produce at a produce-only store (Growers Direct), so it'd be weird to have anything BUT "healthy stuff" in the cart. Well, yeah, they have snack food there, too, but I skip it 95% of the time.

    So when I'm at the regular market, I have NO produce and a mish-mash of Stuff. If anyone notices that I never buy fruits, veggies, meat or booze, I haven't heard it. Nor would I want to!

    I enjoy minding my own business and not giving a dry **** what anyone thinks about my food choices. It makes me happy. :flowerforyou:

    Not the cashier- but I like to see the shame on the face of the person checking out behind me when they have a bunch sugary cereals, frozen pizzas and icecreams. Does this make me evil?

    Not evil..another word.


    <---regularly has ice-cream in her basket, feels absolutely no shame.

    Yesterday I bought Lucky Charms and Frosted Flakes.

    Do you eat all the oat bits out of your Luck Charms first and then eat a pure marshmallow delight, or is that just me?

    Enjoy your rabbit food. Meanwhile I'll enjoy my full calorie soda, ice cream, cheesecake, pizza etc and continue to get stronger and shredded.

    I usually hope the cashier doesn't assume I'm an alcoholic from the amount of beer I buy.

    This. I frequent the same small grocery store (where I recognize all of the employees) and it's usually on my way home from the gym... just me, sweaty, picking up bananas and beer at least once a week.

    I usually hope the cashier doesn't call the police when I buy a baseball bat, duct tape, plastic sheeting, 2 boxes of rubber gloves, and a disposable jump suit. Sometimes your kids start little league the same week you redo a room. Sometimes.

    I dont wish the casheir would comment but they do! usually in the form of a question... what is this? how the heck do you eat that?! or why would you eat that! Its usually collar greens or kale they cant figure out what the heck it is, its kind of amusing to me :)

    One time a overweight guy was behind me in the check out and as I was bagging my food up he asked me If he could talk to me after I was done. He asked me a couple questions about my food choices and how I lost my weight, told em to get check this site. I see him once in a while and hes making better choices and lost some weight :)!

    I have had many people in the store comment on my food in the cart usually asking me why at first then that turns into a conversation of check this site out ;)!

    Seriously? And by what do you mean "clean" are you stating that processed foods are not clean? I mean, I dont have to wash them off....

    Surely you don't actually say these things out loud? I would be having a long conversation with your supervisor if you did.

    yeah, I knew you'd say that. :tongue:
    It's getting cool out now, though. I'm going to have to wear real clothes. Hate that.

    One of my all-time favorite lines from the Simpsons: Bart: (picking through Lucky CHarms) "Damn FDA, why can't they *all* be marshmallow pieces?"

    Lisa: "Ewww, don't put the non-marshmallow pieces back in the box! Those go in the trash."

    I eat like this guy. But I used to eat nothing but organic, unprocessed, 100% whole grain. He's right that there's technically no such thing as "clean" or "good" foods. But he's forgetting that he's probably missing micronutrients, which are very very important. "rabbit food" as you call it, is essential to naturally healthy recovery processes.

    Now days my grocery cart is basically a mixed bag of stuff people would label "healthy" and "unhealthy". but i always.. ALWAYS hit my macro numbers. which is most important, after all.

    Once the cashier asked me if I really do eat all 5 packs of skinny cow ice cream sandwiches per week, because that amounts to a little under a package a day. I wasn't sure if i was ashamed or flattered, since i was at about 9% bodyfat!

    I don't care, I'll admit it. I feel good about myself when I have a cart full of fresh/healthy items. I sometimes look around to see if people are looking at how great my cart looks but they never do lol But I comment to my boyfriend about how healthy everything is and he compliments me so at least I get some validation lol
