    Fuck you, salads are awesome. Eat a good salad, realize you’re an idiot, and apologize to the universe for being an idiot.

      Bad salads are sad though.

      Imagine, 50/50 iceberg lettuce and ranch.

          Deal, the salad is now 50/50 Bleu cheese and ranch. I hope you brought a spoon. There is no steak though, only sadness.

            Thankfully the lack of steak qualifies as breach of contract so I can avoid eating that and go have a heart attack at Buffalo Wild Wings. As God intended.

    I have to hide at work during lunch or just don’t eat because everyone comments on my salads or small, well portioned healthy meals. They always talk about my weight (“so skinny!!!”) and my food and use me as a catalyst to complain about their own weights. Its very uncomfortable. Those kinds of people always loved these kinds of memes.

      Fuck those people. They’re your coworkers not your Grammy. If you can, tell them to stop or ask someone you trust to. If they don’t stop that’s harassment even if covered in humor or followed by self depreciation. They’re like the people that bitch about “ethnic food” smells but everyone has to be quiet when they peel open their Tupperware and the room smells like a brussels sprouts asshole.

    In a time of crisis where 75% of US adults are overweight or obese, it actually is a good thing that we talk to people in our lives about things we’re doing to lose weight, as long as that’s being used as a positive example and not a way to act superior. (Also, if eating salads makes you sad, you’re doing salad wrong; iceberg lettuce with a few croutons and dressing is a salad in the same way that unseasoned broth with noodles and nothing else is soup.)

    I’ve only ever seen this slander towards salads coming from the US, so I have to ask, are salads trash in the US?

    Do people imagine eating healthily is eating only lettuce (it isn’t)?

    I don’t get it

    I’m sad because I like a good salad but I have trouble making them. Damn you brain! Keeping me from being happier and healthier…

    That’s the best part about working out at home. Nobody silently judges you for your apparently short term New Year’s resolution in January.

      I’ve become addicted to chicken caesar salads

      Most restaurant or premade Cesar salads are not that healthy and have just as much calories as other options. Lettuce in itself is basically just water with a small amount of nutrients so eating it does basically nothing (positive or negative), for some people it might help with satiety by giving you a full stomach feeling but personally I’d rather not chew on greens for hours like a ruminant and prefer to drink ample water alongside/after my meal for the same effect while making sure I eat plenty of vegetables for the actual good nutrients etc.

      Anyway yeah these Cesars from restaurants etc are doused in sauce and have a bunch of calorie-dense ingredients so they’re not always a great choice (but fine to have as long as they fit your calorie allowance, just like anything else). Just make sure to balance your carb/fat/protein ratio and not go over the calories, but otherwise just eat whatever you want!

      • There’s like, 1 place that does a good cesar salad where I live but I can assure you: I do not eat them for health reasons, they’re just fucking delicious.

    Presumably people who care about you as a person care about what you’re up to with your life, but maybe the author of this hasn’t experienced that.

    If your diet causes harm, too bad. Get used to hearing about, or get with the times.
