    Personally
    I would not be able to live with myself if I was buying unhealthy foods to make people fat. That is so mean and nasty in a country where the obesity rate is a national crisis that is costing ALL of us money on health care.

    Plus, you want to be a part of the company ownership one day. That means YOU will inherit the health care costs of making them fat and unhealthy!

    Lead by example. Serve healthy foods. If they don't like it, THEN then don't have to eat it!

    Let's end this trend of obesity and reach out to help others, not sabotage them!

    I have no sage advice to offer really but just wanted to throw in that the topic line made me smile (and internally giggle a bit!) so thanks!

    This is all I really wanted. To lighten up somebody's day and mine. Eating healthy and staying active is such a great gift but people sometimes take offense when we try to point out to them they could do better. I'm frustrated when I see friends and co-workers upset if I 'impose' my new healthy habits on them. So what am I supposed to do? Feed them the garbage they already like? You see. It's a no win situation pretty much. That's why I started this thread because it's almost comical. Based on some comments I could've left the fact that this people are a little extra sour with me based in our arrangement at work tho' the question still exists. Do you feed people garbage is that is exactly what they want?

    Do what you do, with good intention and don't it personally otherwise.

    Unfortunately, Krispy Creme Donuts are like friend-crack.

    I don't like them, never have, but if you want to change someone's mind, or make a good impression, a box of Krispy Cremes just says "I care, I'm a good (insert guy/gal here), I'm likeable, sincere, and generous."

    Granola bars just don't say the same thing. Unless your buying me Luna Bars because you know I like them and have an iron deficiency, then, and only then do granola bars say, "I'm awesome and thoughtful."

    Could you do a mix of unhealthy and tasty but healthy foods? Then everyone has a lighter option, but you're not forcing a healthy lifestyle on anyone either.

    It's only ok to fatten them up if you intend to cook and eat them Hansel and Gretal style.

    DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
