Oh that's why you're so thin About a year ago I went vegan. At work when we have catered lunches, I request a vegan meal. Inevitably, if it is a fat who orders the food for the group they will comment, “oh that’s why you’re so thin!”  I love to reply, “actually they aren’t related. Oreos are vegan, as well as French fries. And I haven’t been vegan for very long.” They then proceed to tell me that they are “almost vegetarian” and “could never go vegan” because they “like cheese too much.” No shit you like cheese too much.  You like all food too much.  Don’t try and get me to listen to you talk about your inability to stop eating certain foods. We all know you can’t stop.
