Actually, stop commenting on anyone’s food.

It’s not appropriate. It’s not necessary. You don’t know anything about that person! You don’t know anything about what they’re eating or why they’re eating it! And you don’t need to know!

For some reason (and by “some reason” I mean “because of a lifetime of being socially conditioned to do so”), there are people who feel the need to comment on what other people are eating. In public! In front of other people!

Let’s go over some ground rules for appropriate human behavior:

1. Don’t comment on how healthy you think someone’s food looks.
2. Don’t comment on how unhealthy you think someone’s food looks.
3. Don’t comment on healthy your own lunch is.
4. Don’t comment on how unhealthy your own lunch is.
5. Don’t comment on how you wish you could eat a snack but you’re trying to be good.
6. Don’t comment on how you’re glad you can eat the snack because you went to the gym this morning so you earned it.
7. Don’t comment on whether someone else earned a treat because they’re having a bad day.
8. Don’t comment on how full you are after having eaten half a salad because it’s just so big.

Are you noticing any patterns to those guidelines? Don’t comment on what anyone is or is not eating. Don’t comment on my fucking food.
