I eat them because I like them. Is it that incongruous to see fat people buying salads? People wonder what’s the point when I order cheeseburger,fries and a diet coke…some people don’t get it…its about the taste… ---

> [@wolf in second hand clothing](#): > > it’s only weird when people get a plain lettuce salad, slather it in ranch dressing, and think they’re making a health conscious meal choice. they could get the nutritional equivalent by just chugging the bottle of ranch. It’s ok, though. There was spinach, carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers, (purists look away here) black olives, bell peppers, onions. Yay for vegetables. ---

When did the trebuchet start becoming filled with salad, and from where do I need to give you coordinates to have it come in my open window? ---

Last year I was an assistant audio tech for my school’s musical. One day we were setting up some equipment in the gym-cum-theater, and me, Joe and Eric decided to head to Carl’s Junior and buy dinner for everyone else. I don’t care much for most of the food Carl’s Junior makes, but that’s where everyone else wanted so I went along. Anyway, we got there, and one of the few things that seemed appatizing on the menu was a salad. So I ordered it. The cashier, an Iranian-looking man about 40 years old, flat out asked me if I was on a diet. I 😕ed. Then he says that it was good that I was ordering a salad because most young boys don’t pay enough attention to their health and salad is healthy because it was green. I said nothing. There was nothing to say. Joe and Eric thought it was funny as hell though. And that’s my salad story. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fat-people-who-order-salads/293786.md?page=3)
