So this happened.
Day 2 I was at a conference all day long. Lots of psychology, marketing, SEO, and content topics. You know...brain stuff. So for lunch I hit up the nearby Thai place with some of the other attendees. I figured a salad and a glass of red wine would be alright seeing as I had not really had much breakfast (protein bar and coffee). I looked at the salads but was in such a hurry I decided to just ask the waitress for her recommendation. All the while my inner fat girl is screaming:
DIDN'T YOU SEE THEY HAVE CREAM CHEESE CRAB PUFFS AND PAD THAI? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??
I did...and I was ignoring the fat chick inside. So I asked the waitress two questions:
1. Which salad is the best?
2. How does it compare in calorie count (eyeballing it) to the other salads? i.e. lots of high fat dressing is a bad thing.
This skinny thing, who has probably never counted a calorie a day in her life (but I am sure she is a lovely human being) recommends one and then looks at me and says:
"Oh it is just like any other salad I would think."
This woman is a saint, she helped me pick out a delicious salad that is also healthy and somewhat low cal..right?
A century later when the food finally arrives and it is meat, sticky rice and 2 lettuce leaves..and a tiny slice of raw cabbage. So this leads me to a question....
HOW IS THIS A SALAD???????
I can PROMISE you that this 400g of meat is not the same caloric intake as a salad made up of 90% lettuce and 10% ..you know...anything NOT lettuce. SERIOUSLY? I am so confused because I don't know if I should feel bad that the waitress is unable to identify the properties of a low cal salad when she works in a restaurant OR hate her guts for intentionally being an ass. I know part of me left there (with half my lunch in a bag for the next day) hoping that her next fat-free, sugar-free, soy latte was made with heavy whipping cream and a bag of C&H.
I'm not bitter....ok...yeah, I am...a little.
