Weird Food
Today was filled with interesting little food-related experiences. The first occured at the cafeteria at the Children’s Hospital. I was at the salad bar getting lunch, when I saw a woman place an entire pickle into her empty salad tray, then, she proceeded to cover the pickle in ranch dressing. After applying a generous sprinkle of sunflower seeds, she left. I’m amazed that what she had created technically constituted a ‘salad’. Oh well.
Just a few minutes ago, I was out buying groceries. The woman in front of me in the checkout line had a very unhealthy selection. Lots of sausage, cheese, potato chips, candy, ice cream, hot dogs, etc. I was thinking, “Wow, how can people go to the grocery store and buy nothing except unhealthy crap like that??” But thats when I looked over at my basket and realized that the only thing I was buying was a single bottle of the store’s cheapest sparkling wine. Oh well, I had my moment of self-righteousness, and then got shot down by the cruel arrow of irony.
