Overheard at dinner tonight. Dude sitting at table next to us at Fresh Choice, a salad/buffet place, talking on his mobile phone with someone:
“Hey, what’s up man?…No, I just got out of my Weight Watchers meeting…Maybe next time…Yea, I’m trying to eat healthy…”
The dude had a huge beer belly that expanded out and over his belt-line. And although I applaud him for taking the right steps to getting healthier…Really, should someone trying to lose weight hit a buffet right after their Weight Watchers meeting?
Sure, it is a “salad” place, but the one thing that I learned from the Yahoo! cafeteria is that even if it says “salad”, it doesn’t mean that it is healthy (”taco salad” is not really a salad). Fresh Choice is laden with creamy soups, greasy pizza, oh-so delicious desserts and other great tasting unhealthy food. Hell, the dude covered his salad with creamy Ranch dressing.
It’s like an alcoholic walking out of an AA meeting and going to a bar to drink fat free milk.

I think it is more like an alcoholic walking out of an AA meeting and going to a bar to drink a club soda with a twist of lime. I don’t think a fat free milk is quite as analogous and of course that is just my opinion…

Dude, you’re showing your complete and utter lack of nutrition and how the human body uses food. The creamy ranch dressing, even a big blob of it, probably isn’t going to hurt the guy as much as you think. The biggest danger in the creamy ranch dressing isn’t the fat you seem to abhor, but all the sugar included in the recipe. Even that probably isn’t enough to make his meal unhealthy, as long as he stays away from the pizza, past, and the noodle soup.
Read a little bit about calories and the glycemic index and find out why having fats and proteins mixed with your carbs is SO necessary to health, and why the dressing isn’t killing you as much as the croutons. Time to rearrange your prejudices.

skeptic, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. My point was that a dude who’s on a diet probably should not be hitting a buffet.
