Actual convo at my office.

Coworker: "Ooooh. I want waffle fries."
Me: "I'm getting a grilled chicken sandwich for dinner, but no waffle fries for me today."
Coworker: "Ugh. Why not? I really doubt if you ate a bunch of waffle fries it would make any difference at all, ever."
Me: "It might."
Coworker: "Nah. They're not even bad for you. They're actually good for you. It's not like they're greasy."
Other coworker: "Ummm....they're fried in grease?"
Coworker: "Yeah, but it's like peanut grease so it's fine. You KNOW it's better for you than McDonald's fries. Those are the ones that make people gain weight."
Me: "Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

    convo at a cookout this past weekend. (memorial day)
    Her: i need to lose weight.
    Me: dont we all. How you gonna do it?
    Her: Im gonna go back to WW it worked well before. All I ate are the, you know, the lean cuisine and WW meals. Lost a ton of weight
    Me: you know they aren't real food?
    Her:Crickets!!!
    Me: And actually they are high in sodium and preservatives and should not be eaten.
    Her: Crickets
    Me: So I would stay away and just try to eat better. Fruits veggies etc.
    Her: But I lost a ton of weight. And it worked. That is what I'm gonna do this time.

    Moral of the story. You can't get some out of their ignorance no matter how hard you try.

    I hear people call the sweet potato fries "healthy fries" all of the time.

    Ohhh.. I hear.... You must be a ****ty mom (single mom who has my 1 and 2 year old 80% of the time). You can't be a single mom with two young children, look like you do, and be happy..... so where are your children?

    Chick-fil-a waffle fries, I presume? There aren't any around me, but now you have me craving chicken nuggets.
