Junk Food
I'm a fairly tiny girl but I love food. My favorite kind of food is the unhealthy kind. Greasy burgers, fast food fries, chips with dip and any kind of carb I find totally and utteryl irrisitable. So irristiable in fact that people at work, many years my senior, of all shapes, sizes and races call me Muncher, Munchie, Snack, Jaws, Porky and Chomp are just a few of the colorful names they call me.
Most people call me these names in good humour and encourage my healthy appitiete. They say that it's nice to see a young women eating the things most would avoid and that it's refreshing. But some are genuinly disgusted with my eating habbits. I love veggies and health food to but even when I'm caught eating such things, they're still shocked and look down on me.
I'm blessed with a fast acting metabolism. This is not my fault so don't try to make me feel bad about it. I put on weight too, like ervyone else and yes, it happens in unflattering places like everyone else. When this happens I just eat a little healthier and walk/run  more.
I'm not going to stop enjoying the food I love beause you think its digusting. (Ha! I've just been given a massive cinnamon bun. It's great when people encourage it.)
If someone I know is larger and they're working on losing some weight, I would never consider eating most of the food I do, around them. I would encourage and support them by eating and acting healthy around them. I'm a food lover, not a bitch...huge difference.
However, I wont starve myself just beause there are people around me who have weight issues. If its that offensive, ignore me. I feel badly that it makes people feel the way it does, but what can I do about it? It's not like I walk around gloating about how skinny I am and how big you are in comparison. I dont tell everyone who will listen about how fat I think I am (Not once in my life has that thought EVER entered my head) and then stuff my face with greasy food.
My intention when I eat is never to offend anyone, but to fill my tummy with yummy goodness. I'm sorry for my offences and what trama it may cause you, but  I'm only eating, something most women my age should do more of. 

So my question is:
Are my eating habbit ligitament reasons for offence or do we just live in an anti-eating society?
