to think its the hight of rudeness to call my homemade lemon drizzle cake junk food

[Pollydont]

For my birthday I made a cake to bring into work, a fresh lemon drizzle cake (contains 4 lemons) and no addatives or nastys.

Anyway one guy at work said his body is a temple and he doesn't eat junk food.

I wanted to slap him, homemade stuff isn't the same as junk food!

Whether it is junk food or not, it is blatantly obvious that its rude and insulting to say that to the person who baked it and offered it to you! "No thanks, I'm trying to be healthy" is fine - "I am an arrogant egotist with no social skills and I think your home baking is junk" obviously isn't

All cake is junk but he was rude in his reply

I suspect he was joking though? I mean no-one's going to come out with that temple thing seriously surely?

I am childish so I would be hoping he offered me something edible one day just so I could say 'No, my body is a museum and I don't eat shite.'

I don't partake of home made cakes in the office ( am trying got ditch all sugar and white carbs and so far its doing wonders for my skin and I feel much lighter and more alert). I wouldn't be rude though, although I can tell people are still a bit offended when I politely refuse.

That is not my definition of junk food.

Anything home made, however much sugar or butter, is not "junk".

Anything congaing articial flavours and colourings and hydrogenated vegetable and artificial sweetener and 50 other E numbers... THAT is junk, in my book!

well cake is not fruit .but then tea and strawberry,s has not got the same ring as tea and cake lovely

My definition of junk food, is any food with little or no nutritional value.

Normally the nicest food

Picnic :o

Junk food for me means mass produced with additives e-numbers etc.

Home made cake is no way junk food in my book.

And of course he was incredibly rude to say that even if he thought it

Oooh I've got a good one.

If he does it again, you could riposte thus:

"Fuck off".

Smile sweetly and say "good then. More for us!" and walk away.

Nobody with any brains passes up lemon drizzle cake! I'd never call it junk food. Tis lovely!!

Blimey, it sounds like something a fictional character would say!

He was rude, but cake is junk.

I'm with seven, it's the only response. If he's not a complete knob, he's socially inept. Honestly, who says "my body's a temple" without adding "i.e. a complete ruin"?

I think home baking is treats rather than junk. Just as bad for you, but so are most treats!

You're lucky he didn't punch it.

Tell him his temple needs redecorating

Homemade cake isn't junk food.

I do think he was rude and rather thoughtless.

I would wished you happy birthday, and taken a small slice.

cake isn't junk food. Weirdos.

^junk food
noun
pre-prepared or packaged food that has low nutritional value.
"I was eating too much junk food"^

not accurate. As well as bloody rude.

It sounds like he is looking down his nose at you for making and consuming (in his eyes) junk. Bit holier than thou and with no actual justification.

Screw him is what I say I would love a massive slice!

Love the comment about all the best temples being in ruins!

I wouldn't count it as junk food, but it's not exactly healthy either. He was very rude though and I would just have said that it looked lovely, but I was having to watch what I eat atm, or something like that.

In reality, I wouldn't have been able to resist!

YANBU and if it had lemons in it it might even have counted towards his 5 a day

I hope you had a lovely birthday.
