I work at a major food manufacturer. We make food. People eat it. Sometimes, people eat too much of it, even though we very clearly label the appropriate serving size. I have no probelm with any of this. Sure, I try to eat unprocessed as much as I can, but I love a good cheeseburger and very rarely, Cheetoes or real ice cream or some other concotion that's as far away from the farm as possible.
Which of the following questions from relative strangers should I be most offended by?
- How does it make you feel to know that you're making our kids obese?
- Have you seen Food, Inc.? (Or read Omnivore's Delimma)
- You know you gave Jenny McCarthy's son autism, right?
Look, people eat too much. I get it. But my point of view has always been, if you don't like it you can vote with your stock portfolio (don't buy it), employment decisions (don't work there), or eating decisions (make other choices).
