To think my lunch was not bad?

Just chatting at lunch around food habits and failing to bring lunch from home - a colleague commented my lunch was unhealthy and too much salt and sugar as it was shop bought / ready made. I didn't think it was an unhealthy lunch:

  • shop bought salad - (Pret - Avocado & Crayfish)
  • a pear
  • small pack of popcorn
  • a coffee

For comparison she had brought a home made chilli and rice (leftovers).

I meant I regretted even teasing him about it in hindsight. Well done on being outraged though.

My reply to this has, for some reason (possibly because it offended someone who can dish it out but doesn't like to receive it) been deleted....I stand by what I said but I'll rephrase it.

If you continue to spout sweeping, nonsensical statements about pancreatic cancer in a manner designed to cause offence, then I will continue to be outraged.

:D
Good for you!
I am sure your outrage is justified in some way.

I'd explain it to you but it's impossible to reason with ignorance....

Yes, just ignore it. It was outrageously ignorant. Brew

Depends what the bought coffee was? A Costa/Starbucks barista coffee can be 600 calories alone and full of fat and sugar. A meal in one!

The rest is nutritionally balanced.
