    People really complain about crunchy snacks, really? Over sensitive people

    DAILY. I have been married to my husband for 5 years... 4.5 of those years I have had to endure the stink eye and constant lectures about "crunching". And we're not talking like i'm eating with my mouth half open imitating a cow chewing cud. Carrots... apples... popcorn... it all crunches naturally when you eat it. I have literally had to eat outside so my husband would STHU about it.

    Does it bother him when he eats crunchy food or is it only when other's do it? You're nice for going outside to eat I'd probably look at my BF after getting a lecture and crunch away. How does he handle eating in social situations?

    OP, I wish you were my cubicle neighbor! I also can't stand the chomping, crunching, and slurping that goes on in the office. It's repulsive to me.

    I bring instant oatmeal packets for my quiet snack.

    Oh no... just when I do. I bring this up that he crunches equally loudly but I don't get all bent out of shape about it. Now, if i'm crunching he grabs a handful of popcorn/chips/whatever and purposely crunches as loud as he possibly can and I just ignore him because he's the one with the wacko pet peeve. Nope, just when I do it.

    I would do a banana with reduced calorie peanut butter for a snack. You also have turkey links, hard boiled eggs, pouches of tuna, etc etc Remember, your body has to burn through sugar to get to fat. I know sugar is broken down differently in fruit; however, nonetheless, it is a content of sugar. I recommend most women avoid fruit after around 2pm.

    That's ridiculous. Avoid fruit after 2pm? Maybe avoid caffeine after 2pm, but fruit? Oh, and only women? Men can have all the strawberries and bananas they want at 4pm, but those women need to curb their fruit intake midday. Poo on that.
