The lunch conversation at my work starts around 9:45 a.m. about the time the flies are starting to gather around the wadded up McDonalds sacks in the trash cans. It starts with the token "healthy" option from say Jason's Deli and then eventually morphs into somebody driving halfway across the city to pick up a styrofoam container full of cream sauce topped pasta from some Italian place they've been telling everyone about for months. They can't do their job worth a shit, but goddamn if they can't choreograph a fucking 12 person lunch order all on individual tickets ensuring everybody's shit is pube infested.
I just don't get it.
Honestly I think it's the entitlement factor coming into play. A lot of people hate their jobs, and satisfying the taste buds for 15-20 minutes is a good way to cope with the rest of the bullshit they deal with for the rest of the day. I think the thought process is, okay, I'm going to drag my ass out of bed because I'm afraid of going homeless, but goddammit I'm eating that fattening bullshit for lunch, because I deserve it.
Me? I'm fat, so I eat salad for lunch everyday. And I hate my job. Hopefully nobody dies.
Seriously though. Does anyone else ever just have those times when you've got so much shit going through your head that you don't even know what to think about?

Only when all the voices try an talk at the same time:-)
Okay, I'm drinking a bottle of Welch's "100% Apple Juice" (in big letters). Yet, right under that, in smaller letters it says, "From Concentrate, With Added Ingredients".
Ingredients: apple juice from concentrate (filtered water, apple juice concentrate), malic acid (for tartness), ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
Well, gee, last time I did math, that's not 100% apple juice, you a@@holes!! 100% apple juice would be, oh, I dunno... 100% f**king APPLE JUICE, no?
It's shit like this that pisses me off. Like the latest hoodwink to be perpetrated is "No Trans Fats!" even when you see something "partially hydrogenated" in the ingredients list. BULLSHIT! They're playing semantic word games. What it really means is, "Per serving size, there is less than 1 gram of trans fats" or "there is less than 1% of trans fats". This allows them to claim "no trans fats". Yeah, it's not 1%... but it MIGHT be 0.97%. And if you eat, say, three servings--which is easy 'cause most of the serving sizes are for small mice or supermodels--you WILL get a healthy dose of trans fats. Lying sacks of weasel shit.

Usually I don't drink much juice, only some in the morning when taking pills and usually I stick to the 100% "dark fruit" mixes (e.g. pomegranete, blueberry, cranberry). Later in the day I might have some swigs of Low Sodium V8 as well. I've given up on orange juice, by and large, since it's just too sugary-sweet, although sometimes I'll grab a carton of orange or grapefruit. Mostly I drink water, iced tea, lemonade, or some combo thereof ("cutting" the iced tea or lemonade with 50% water, as I find the full-strength stuff too syrupy or sugary).

Says the fatty who engorged the Chili's triple play the other day.

Drop the lemonade and go with unsweetened iced tea.
