Snarky remark I just overheard about my lunch...

"I love when people get salads and just assume it's healthy because it is a salad".

sigh...I know exactly what's in it because I've asked the kitchen before...

  • I love those who make remarks about my lunch! As they eat a bag of chips, 20 oz soda, something greasy out of the warmer, and top it off with a candy bar(usually king size!).

    I get judged more now than I ever have been these days...which is why I usually prefer to make my lunch at times when most are not in the office kitchen, but oh well!

    Or better yet, "Presumptuous AND rude, that's a winning combination."

    I have a no BS way of healthy eating (save my daily ice cream sandwich) and I can eat like a cross between a vegan and someone on Atkins (lean meat and healthy fats though). I get some weird looks from servers for how I order lots of meals.

    My reply is usually along the lines of "I love it when people order a triple burger with cheese and upsize the fries and think that the diet coke is going to cancel it all out"

    This is like saying "Almost exactly alike". (Save my daily ice cream) means you do not eat healthy...

    I love it when people have nothing better to do than comment about my pile of vegetable sustenance.

    I would have turned around and said "I love it when people make stupid generalizations about the actions of others and assume that makes them seem intelligent. Enjoy your lunch!"

    I would have responded with "I love how people make judgments about things they know nothing about and are none of their business."

    LOL - Friday is my day for unhealthy salad --- honey roasted almonds and buffalo mozzerella! If I ate this everyday, I wouldn't fit through the door. But see, the things is... I KNOW that. Duh... keep your nose outta my salad! Or comment on the day I have lettuce and tuna and nothing else... see what happens then. :explode:

    There IS room for sweets and treats in a healthy diet. You don't have to cut out everything in order to be healthy.
  • Have people forgotten the one thing that most people were told when growing up? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. And truthfully, what difference does it make to them if you eat a salad or not, healthy or not healthy. What difference would it make to them if you ate the most unhealthiest meal you could think of. They don't have to lose your weight you do. Sheessh. People should just stick to their own lunch and leave yours alone lol. Sorry for the rant but some people need to mind their own business. :wink:

    Yeah ... on one hand, just because it's "salad" doesn't mean it's low-cal. But that also doesn't mean it isn't. When I get salad out, I get veggies, cheese, sometimes an egg and use oil and vinegar dressing. The cheese adds some calories (but also protein and calcium), but otherwise, it's pretty low-cal and it IS healthy.

    It's the bacon and heavy dressings and stuff that make them high-cal and high-fat, not the fact they were put together in a restaurant.

    Have you forgotten that quote comes from Bambi? Who cares what a cartoon has to say - that's a stupid rule. There are polite ways to say negative things.

    I'm finding that people judge a lot more for eating healthy than not! I get teased almost every day for my healthy lunches and snacks, but I never did when I was eating candy bars every day.

    Try being vegan and hearing the comments you get. When I mention it, they say "OMG I could never give up meat!",,,,and I'm thinking....did I ask you to?
