You can take your smug helathier-then-thou attitude and shove it up your ass. Yes, I know this orange juice is “from concentrate”, yes I know it is as “good for me” as the fresh squeezed, so the fuck what? And yes I eat burgers! I am just so sick of you andyour prissy attitude about how healthy your goddamn lunch was, salad and yogurt and couple of deep breaths. Throw down a few rice cakes and you’d think you’ve just passed the gates of heaven, eh? I don’t care what you eat just don’t fucking get in my face about it, m’kay? And don’t say a goddamn word about what I am eating, you obnoxious prick!
DISCLAIMER: This rant is not directed at anyone on SDMB, I think.
That’s jsut good manners, and can be easily applied to carnivores picking on vegetarians, or vegans picking on soembody chowing on a Big Mac. Nobody has any business commenting on what somebody else eats.
Me, I’m a “health nut freak,” but I’m hardly overbearing. My BF and I have different tastes and we put up with each other’s idiosyncrasies. I eat scrambled eggs and whole milk at his place, and he eats bran flakes and skim milk at mine. It’s called compromising.
My GOSH gobear you at least take out those yokes before you scramble them there eggs don’t ya? If not, you could at put some mustard in there to fool him that you are eating the yokes.
You missed the point. The BF scrambles whole eggs, and so I will eat them with him instead of insisting that he separate them. It’s called compromise. When I’m at home, I only use egg whites, of course.
In South Korea, you can buy chocolate-covered Cheetos–really. The convenience stores there also sell strawberry frosted Paws and BBQ shrimp-flavored snacks called Goraebap (Whale Rice). The street vendors sell a flat, circular fish snack that is toasted on coals and has a really chewy consistency(chwipo). They also sell peanut butter-covered squid pieces, blood sausage (soondae), and cylindrical rice cakes cooked in hot sauce (dokbokki). All of it is really bad for you, but oh, so good!
This thread is making me hungry. Time to pull out the whole wheat pretzels and bean sprouts.
Those of you who would eat regular pretzels are supporting the torture of the flour that was bleeched for your benfit! I hope your ashamed of yourselves!..
I had a girlfriend who was like this. I broke up with her because I couldn’t stand the constant shit about how much healthier I’d be if I went Vegan. I compromised a bit and have actually been “conditioned” to the point where I can appreciate a good veggie burger. But there was no compromise on her side and I just simply couldn’t go on without my backyard-grilled steaks.
She was a germ freak, too, and would spray anti-bacterial shit all over herself whenever she touched anything on the NYC subway. But that’s another Pit rant for another time.
People should just be comfortable with their own food choices and not get in anyone else’s face about them. But I guess there are folks out there who just can’t resist being smug about eating healthy. Personally, I’d rather eat a Styrofoam coffee cup than one of those unflavored unsalted rice cakes, but I don’t try to preach the benefits of a nice steak to the Weight Watchers lifetime members in my office who seem to subsist entirely on those foam discs.
But I love me some In-N-Out Double Double animal style, too.
But guess what? I don’t give a shit what you eat.
So please, don’t feel free to mock & give a shit about what I eat. (especially when I DO have that once in a blue moon breakdown and actually eat burgers & fries)
Thought for a minute this was a thread about Paul McCartney who was in the news, again, for starting a British campaign to get school children to NOT drink milk.
Wait to go, Paul! I swear, did any of those Beatles have gonads or were they all led around by their scrotums by overbearing females?
I FRIED a one pound package of ground sirloin tonight. I dumped a big can of barbeque beans and a small can of red kidney beans on the meat. I mixed it all up, dumped a bunch of pepper and a LOT of salt on it and ate the whole damned mess, washed down with a quart of buttermilk. Fuck health nuts and all they stand for.
