Most of us make terrible coffee.  Learn to make good coffee and it will taste good black.

What did you do today to make up for the Halloween candy you ate yesterday?

 

 

Went back to my normal routine.  Yo-yo dieters "make up" for stuff and that's one reason they fail.

Chimpanzees will only eat those things if greens are not readily available to them

Please provide some references if you're going to claim something is a fact.

tony sounds like the sort of person that A) enjoys being stepped on by others and rationalizes it because of his low self-esteem, B) likes to step on others, and doesn't like being reported, or C) typical "masculine man" that thinks "handling it man to man" is more manly than "crying to HR."

This is why women manage businesses.

People that dislike or discourage communicating with HR are the people you're probably going to be reporting to HR, anyway. Steer clear of them; this isn't a 2nd grade sandbox, it's a workplace; and this isn't toys, it's your career and your life.

LOL. "This is why women manage businesses" Yeah, that worked real well for HP, Xerox, and Lucent stockholders.

actually

it's ridiculous to say talk to the boss directly

 

of course she would go to HR or write a letter to HR so THEY can speak with the boss about it. That is what HR is for.

Incorrect.

You know what's funny? The only people who are saying NOT to go talk to HR are males; how funny.

Ok, make it into a gender thing when it's not.  Have fun whining about problems to HR and your bosses and being labeled a complainer at every job you ever have. 

 I took major offense to this. What her boss said is clearly illegal and is definitely over-stepping his bounds as a boss.

I would love to know what laws her boss broke. Please let me know what statutes there are against calling people fat.

Original Post by lindinig:

Her weight in no way impacts her ability to do her job. Her ability to do her job should be the only thing her boss should be concerned about. Talking about one's weight IMO is discrimination.

While I don't agree with the law, overweight people are NOT covered by anti-discrimination lawa

He is probably intimidating her because of her age and he's betting on the fact that she will not bring it up to HR. He is creating a hostile workplace for her, which could cause lasting emotional damage. Going to HR with facts in hand, and a solid paper trail does not constitute whining and complaining. Employees should be respected and allowed to do their job without some a****** verbally abusing them.

 

I think you should go to your boss first and tell him to cut it out.

So we agree, what's the problem?

Original Post by lindinig:

Document it, as others have said. If he does not stop, go to HR.

This is exactly what I said. I said OP would be labeled a complainer and a whiner if she goes to HR without going to her boss first.

amber,

lay off the drugs

Do you really think a 200 Cal discrepancy is from insoluble fiber?  Come on. 

As others have mentioned, it's likely Cal per 100g not per serving.

I know chinese food is generally bad for you because 90% of it is fried

Only Chinese from take-out places... Not real Chinese food, which is often very healthy and not necessarily fried.

OP specified American Chinese food in the title.

Anyone?

This is a forum, not a chat room. 22 min without a response isn't exactly excessive.

 I'm sorry, but this is the lamest attempt at humor I've seen in a LONG time

Maybe you have atrocious grammar as well and you don't get it? 

The Starbucks in airpports usually don't have the same food as regular Starbucks stores.  Airport concessions are usually run by a single vendor and they sell the same packaged sandwiches and cakes in the Starbucks that they sell in the Newsstand.

Claire & Nomo,

Is there a reason these threads are allowed to remain?  On most web forums posts that violate the rules or guildlines of the forum are removed and repeat offenders banned.  Does CC not have a locking or banning policy for trolls that repeat bad information that can cause harm to other users? 

?

Hi OP,

Have you made a lot of progress in the 2 years since starting this thread? 

I am usually the first one to call people out for being childish when they claim they "can't" eat fruit or vegetables, but you seem to be making a sincere effort to change your eating habit and find fruits and vegetables that work for you. 

To OP and anyone in the thread, if you can't stomach lettuce (which seems to be one of the common traits of veggie-haters) don't bother.  It has almost no nutritinal value. 

• The study showed that when male rats were fed high doses of stevioside for 22 months, sperm production was severely reduced, the weight of the seminal vesicles declined, and there was an increase of cell proliferation in their testicles. In time, this could easily cause infertility or other reproductive problems.

• In another study, female hamsters were fed large amounts of a derivative of stevioside called steviol. Here the scientists found that the female hamsters had fewer and smaller offspring.

• In the lab, steviol can be converted into a mutagenic compound. This, in turn, may promote cancer by causing mutations in the cells’ genetic material, or DNA.

• Scientists are divided on the issue of the caner link, and remain adamant that further testing, studies, and reviews need to be conducted in order to resolve the issue.

Studies indicate that large amounts of stevioside can interfere with the absorption of carbohydrates in animals and disrupt the conversion of food into energy within cells. Scientists are particularly worried about this development, especially as it pertains to children.
