- You: *eating your lunch in the cafeteria*
- Teacher: Hey, I couldn't help but notice that you're eating your lunch there.
- You: ...um, okay?
- Teacher: Well, that's an awful lot of food you have there.
- You: Yeah I'm pretty hungry today.
- Teacher: Well next time could you maybe bring a little less food? It's just that some people might get hungry by looking at all that food you're eating, and they might get distracted and not be able to concentrate.
- You: ...you're saying people aren't going to be able to concentrate in class because I'm eating my lunch?
- Teacher: It is an awful lot of food, you know, it's not really appropriate, because some people aren't used to seeing so much food. So maybe tomorrow you could bring a smaller lunch? Or you could go home and take some of it with you so that people don't have to see you eating all of it here.
- You: But I'm really hungry today. I didn't get to eat breakfast and I'm going to be late home tonight so I'm probably going to miss dinner. If I don't eat my lunch today I won't be able to do schoolwork because I'll feel ill.
- Teacher: I know but other people might see it and want to eat your food, and then they won't be able to concentrate. It's pretty distracting and to be honest, it doesn't really make a good impression of yourself. You don't want everyone thinking you're greedy, do you?
- You: What?! Why can't you just tell other people to mind their own business? I'm not doing anything wrong here, and it's not my fault if other people get distracted by something as innocuous as me eating my lunch. Why don't you tell other people just to control their urges, or just stop looking at me in that way?
- Teacher: You know you're really not setting a good example here. I think you should go see the headteacher. And tomorrow, bring a smaller lunch.
- You: ..........!
- Does this sound ridiculous? Of course it does. Now imagine the same scenario where a girl is wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top because it's hot. Instead of being asked to bring less food, she's being asked to wear clothes that aren't as revealing, because other people might get 'hungry'.
- It's stupid, isn't it?
- Me: Regularly spends an entire evening preparing high-quality, thoroughly-researched diets for my animals, including fresh, expensive ingredients and supplements.
- Also me: Eats frozen mac and cheese and potato chips for dinner.
Cheese is the celebration of what happens when milk goes off big time styley.
