As the holiday season brings food in the office, parties, family feasts and more, there is always a massive spike in the e-mails I get from people who are trying to figure out how to deal with food shaming, food policing, and food moralizing.
All of this is crap, for the reasons I explain here, Note, today’s responses are in pictures (mostly starring our adorable dogs. ou can click on them to enlarge them, and each one has a written caption.)
- Picture of an angry pug saying “Tell me about your diet and I’ll tell you about my bowel movements. Too much information, you say? Exactly.”
- Picture of a pug walking toward the camera saying “If I want the Food Police I’ll call Pie-1-1”
- Pug that looks like it’s laughing “You say you have an opinion about my food? Guess what? NOBODY CARES!”
- Maltese with open mouth, looking like it’s yelling saying “NO MORE DIET TALK! Eat it or don’t and shut up about it.”
- Maltese in a basket with blankets looking cranky “I don’t remember asking for your opinion about my food. That’s because I DIDN’T! So keep it to yourself.”
- Picture of an owl “You think I’m eating too much? Whooooooo the hell asked you?”
- Picture of a black French Bulldog “Do I need to eat this? No. But using my fork to eat heps keep me from stabbing you with it.”
- Picture of three pugs, two sitting upright and the middle pug slouching “Think we shouldn’t eat that? Think we don’t need seconds? Turn to page 9 in your hymnal and join us in a rousing chorus of “Absolutely Nobody Asked You.”
