Tee hee! I just think this is sooooo funny....

I work in hospitality and so meet all kinds of people. Recently, I had a very nice and interesting conversation with a CEO of a company in Ireland who spoke in the most inspired and impassioned way about his business and his vision--and then teased me about my "missionary zeal" with raw foods!

Naturally, I pointed out the irony there. :)

He ended up laughing and saying that he would look up "this raw food thing" when he got home.


People and their food. I tell ya...:rolleyes:

This is actually what I find so amusing about most folks...we all have our loves and interests. When you become a pastry chef and food is your focus...cool...but we can't be focused on food without a problem. :rolleyes: You are learning to make lovely french foods full of heavy fats...baked yummies...full of yeasts and wheat flours...sugar...but because these are common food choices to most of the world...It's a very cool job! Raw Chef...not so much. LOL Crazy...

If we spent hours in front of a TV every Sunday watching football, basketball, or baseball...that would be an acceptable interest. (Doing nothing for our bodies but introducing snack foods and lots of sitting...and I believe a bit of blood pressure raising if you really support your team.)

Do something to better yourself...increase your life span...look healthier...feel great...:mad: :confused: :eek: is going to be the response you get. LOL

I'll live with the judgments to know I'm doing best for me....not for them.

Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you pointed out the irony. Intelligent people will laugh and defensive people will knock you upside your head. lol. I'm kidding of course...sort of. :p

Very well said Shel Shel. Another irony you point out. Thank you.
