I suppose that's one way to deal with your food cravings

There’s this guy at my office who I’ve seen several times microwaving a bowl containing an entire bag of frozen mixed veggies. I wasn’t sure if he was eating these as meals or what, so today when he happened to nuke his veggies while I was getting my lunch, I asked him what’s with the veggies.

“I have a crazy addiction to potato chips so I eat these instead.”

“I suppose that’s a good substitution.”

“Yeah, that’s what they say you’re supposed to do, but it’s not good for the soul.”

I can only hope that maybe someday, he’ll come to terms with his crushing potato chip addiction, and is able to enjoy the occasional moderate amount of potato chips.

I love potato chips! I just am able to stop eating them, at some point.

There was one guy I used to work with. He’d microwave a bag of veggies for his lunch, or have celery and carrots with maybe some peanut butter. He was a nice person - too nice for his career choice.

I know several people who come in and microwave bowls of broccoli and cauliflower or something for lunch - mostly men. Granted I live in Southern California but I still find it.. interesting. I have been known to eat broccoli and ranch for breakfast though.

I like my veggies too, but for what they are. They are not a substitute for chips.

I forgot. There is also one man that brings in a carrot sandwich for lunch just about every day. I worked in a lab with him. Two pieces of bread and a thick slice of cooked carrot in the middle.

I ate a burrito for lunch yesterday that was so large I skipped dinner.

Might as well face it, he’s addicted to spuds.

There is no such thing as a moderate amount of potato chips

I am able to stop as well... When the bag is empty. I do not buy them anymore unless I plan on eating the entire bag.

I don’t get that at all. I get being vegan or vegetarian, but you need to have something that’s a “meal” dangit. Today I had a sandwich with tofurkey, vegan “cheese,” a bunch of greens, with a side of carrots and hummus.

Solution: buy the smallest bag of potato chips, in the world.
