A citation from the fat police

August 14th, 2011 · 175 comments

Writes an office worker in Alabama: “A co-worker attends a weekly cooking class in town, and this week they made a Cinnamon Roll Casserole. The co-worker decided to bring it in to work and share it with the office.” The nerve of some people!

Hey J, Brining [sic] in food items that are very heavy in calories is only fueling people’s addiction to sugar. It is the same as fueling people other desire in pursuits that you might consider as sin such as alcohol or drugs. People addicted to drugs and alcohol have problems controlling themselves around these items. The same goes for high calorie foods. The consequence for quick satisfaction as you know are being fat and unhealthy. Unless you wish others to be fat and unhealthy, please bring only healthy food. Thanks, Jeff

    Someone needs to tell Jeff “eat me, instead of the casserole, you sanctimonious a-hole.”

      KST your comment was funny and then you lost me after casserole. We don’t know the guy is a jerk or a-hole. Maybe he just feels strongly opposed to junk food. I certainly do. Maybe his family is obese, maybe he used to be. Who knows!

      Why people feel the need to always take things a step further with cussing and attacking is a mystery. Don’t get me wrong – I love the word a-hole. Only you seem plenty funny without having to resort to bad words.

      Carry on.

      Sorry about that. I happen to be a little overweight myself and if I saw this message, I would be a little miffed because he is kind of messing in my own choices. You know, if I want to eat an entire cinnamon casserole, that’s my business. I don’t need someone to speak for me, you know what I mean?
      But I used the word a-hole because I don’t like saying the actual word.
      Thank you for the compliment and I mean that sincerely. I will try to watch it. :-) I understand what you mean.

      Somebody who is opposed to junk food and has strong feelings about obesity can simply not eat it. I would even go so far as saying that they can advocate for placing said junk food away from their immediate work area, if they have trouble controlling their impulses with food.

      Jeff is taking it a step further and trying to control everyone else’s food choices. He’s a sanctimonious a-hole. It’s an entirely appropriate word choice.

      So it is ok to tell someone to “eat me” but you have a problem with “a-hole”?

      They are both rude, and in this case, appropriate.

      Mar’s comment is like the cussing equivalent of Jeff’s tirade. “I don’t like it, so no one else should do it” except in Mar’s case, they’re assigning conditions for when cussing would be appropriate enough for them. The nerve!

      How can you defend that behavior? Holy shit, Mar. Equating junk food with alcohol or drug addiction is fucking ridiculous. If you absolutely cannot share the same plane of existence with a plate of junk food without shoving the entire content into your slimy gullet, then you’ve got some problems that aren’t going to be solved by being a whiny, insufferable cunt to your coworkers.

I’m afraid that I would neglect my work to make Jeff my special project and since I’m a very good cook and specialize in desserts and sweets each day there would be a “high calorie” party outside his door or cubicle. Of course, it sounds like Jeff is one of those people who probably has joined Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. There is no bigger ass than the “converted” who feel the need to police the rest of the world.

    I’ve been on a low-carbohydrate diet for three years and I’ve dropped 85 pounds as of today. There’s no bigger convert to the “stop eating so much fucking sugar if you want to be healthy” lifestyle than I.

    That being said, I never go around giving unsolicited advice, preaching the virtues of my diet like I have it all figured out. Ultimately, we’re all responsible for our own choices. If someone brings in unhealthy food to your workplace, the decision to eat it lies with you. It’s not someone else’s responsibility to help you fit in your skinny jeans. So, Jeff, kindly suck on my girl balls.

But do NOT attempt to dictate to others – they are grownups, too, and get to make their very own personal choices.

    Wow. I am a long-term member of Weight Watchers (lost and kept off 30 lbs for 3 years now) and I would never in a million years try to dictate my food preferences on others. Unbelieveable. Do you know how many cake parties I had to sit through at my last job? About 2 per week. Big deal. I just didn’t eat cake. Even when people pressured me I still didn’t eat it. I would just stand around with a cup of coffe and chat with everyone while they had their cake. If you have that much of an actual food addiction that you can’t handle being around some cake, then get some professional help and learn how to deal with it because life will continue to go on around you and the vast majority of people enjoy cake. Either that or go live in a cave by yourself somewhere.

      I wasn’t tempted because our office ordered the most disgusting sugar-shortening frosted cakes from the local fancy overpriced bakery. I tried to just sit with a beverage, but they all made such an issue out of it (including the President/CEO), after hundreds of no-thank-you “parties” I started taking a piece and periodically loading a bite on a fork, and then putting it back on the plate. “You’re not eating your cake, Melissa!” Ugh!

    I say keep bringing in everything you want to bring in with a special bowl marked “Jeff” (or Supreme Dick, whichever won’t get you fired) in which something entirely healthy and probably unappealing resides (i.e., celery sticks and the like). Therefore, you’re not being discriminative. In fact, you’re giving him the opportunity to exercise self control and you prove your point.

    Thankfully we don’t have a Jeff in our office. I love bringing cookies (and the occasional cake, pie, or bread) to work. It’s good because I like baking and trying new recipes, but I don’t want to eat a whole batch by myself. Although I like the mental image of bringing something other than a dessert, if that’s what would make Jeff happy. Just imagine pulling out a pot and some tongs, and asking your coworkers, “So, who wants spaghetti!?”

    • #46.4   The Elf

      Slobber, presumably you care about him. You hate to see your coworker decline, especially when he has a small child. I get it.

      But what can you do? Slap his hand when he reaches for a donut? He knows what he should and should not eat. No doubt his doctor has told him to manage his diabetes and heart condition better. Maybe he’s doing so and that donut is his once-a-week treat, already planned out in his diet. Maybe he’s just stuffing his face. You don’t know. He’s an adult, and until he decides to change, if he needs to change, nothing you can do will help.

      If you are a friend – a real friend, not a coworker friend – then you can pull him aside and have a heart-to-heart. Put it in terms of concern for his child should his illness get the best of him, not in terms of eating another damn donut when he knows he isn’t supposed to. Ask if you can help.

      If you are his boss, you can also bring up the issue. But bring it up in terms of productivity – i.e. the heart attack in the office. Say you don’t want another incident like this, you’re concerned, and offer to accomodate him so that he can tackle this issue. Ask him how the boss can help. Need an afternoon off once a week for weight watchers meetings? Rearrange the schedule. Something like that.

      No matter what, if you are the friend or boss, you say it privately, you say it nicely, you don’t even get close to the word “fat”, and you time it so that it isn’t close to any mealtime and he doesn’t have a mouthful of donut.

      But if you aren’t a friend and you aren’t his boss, then STFU. I assume Jeff is not a friend (he put it in an email) and he isn’t a boss (no whiff of authority or policy here). So he should STFU too.

      Or I have developed a bad allergy to bees, but insist on spending as much time in the outdoors and woods as I possibly can – obviously you need to put a stop to that too.

I’m sure he’ll be *really* glad when his co-workers start laying into him as well. Unless he asks for help, you have absolutely no reason to talk to him about his weight or his eating habits. There’s absolutely no point to talking to him, unless you think that your words would be more convincing then those of his doctors or his family. It’s not like you talk to him, and he suddenly realises; “Holy shit, I really AM fat! When the fuck did that happen???”

    I’ve lost 138 pounds in the last two years, mainly by not eating sugar and chips. Sugar is MY issue – not my co-worker’s issue. Most of the people I know eat sugar. I don’t begrudge anyone (regardless of their size) for eating what they want. God knows I ate piles of sugary, fattening foods to get to my top weight. I ate it until I was ready to stop.

    I am responsible for what I eat; my co-workers and my employer are not. If someone wants to be generous and bring in something yummy to share with everyone, that’s nice. I don’t have to join in the eating, but I can join in the party.

    And – I’m gluten-free and won’t piss a stink in the office and demand no one ever have sandwiches or bring treats I couldn’t eat. Would I respectfully mention for party-planning I’d be bringing my own dish to share, not to be rude, but because I had to, sure.

    I’m just guessing, but from the wording in the email where he mentions “pursuits you might consider as sin” that maybe, just maybe, the baker in Jeff’s office has maybe been somewhat judgmental about other behaviors – like drinking alcohol.

    I have to admit, I’d feel the same way. I’m a regular gym-goer, runner, healthy eater, etc, and I usually live and let live. But I also like the occasional drink or three, and there are people in my office who believe even just one is a sin – and they’re not shy about letting you know. Maybe Jeff has some similar officemates and is just tired of having their beliefs shoved down his throat, and he’s fighting back in a less-than-desirable way? I’m just saying – there could be some background here.

    Brilliant! Jeff just guaranteed that the whole office would want to bring in tasty treats just to spite him. I am going to send that same note to my whole office!

    Dear co-worker,

    Sending out poorly edited notes only fuel some people’s addiction to ignorance and illiteracy, much the same way notes with egregious spelling errors and subject/verb agreement problems do. Please try to communicate with the same level of usage as the average 12 year-old, or risk the consequences of being mocked by everyone. Thanks,

    Jeff sounds like the kind of douchebag that stands at his desk all day to burn a few extra calories, when he could jog and burn a lot of calories. It’s not his fault he doesn’t like to run, it’s hot outside.

    As the great Garfield once said, “I’m not overweight, I’m under tall.” This guy sounds like he never met a fat free lasagna he didn’t like. Must be a blast at parties.

    Jeff needs a bitch slap. a few people at work bring things in from time to time. a fav of some of the guys is a tuna noodle casserole. i don’t like tuna. i am not going to fire off an angry email to the guy about his wife’s choice of food. i just don’t eat it. kinda simple. everyone gets a free lunch except me. but that is on ME, not on the guy or his wife who took the time to make it.

    Does cinnamon roll casserole sound a lot like bread pudding to anyone? I do like bread pudding.

    This makes me think of what I’m teaching my daughters at the table. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Try it, and then quietly move it to the side of your plate. If you can’t swallow that small bite, cough politely into your napkin. Don’t mention it and if someone asks if you liked it, say what you liked more. Someone worked hard to prepare that food, someone grew it, you could at least have the courtesy to keep your mouth shut.”

    I am thrilled to say that it is actually working on the older one, finally. The little one is more like Jeff but we are working on her so that by the time she is working, she will be munching baby carrots from a tiny Ziploc in her pocket.

    Or more likely, if she takes after me, gorging on cinnamon roll casserole. But if she doesn’t, she knows to shut the fuck up.

      Is a bread pudding in America the same as a bread pudding in Britain? In Britain it’s basically white bread put in a dish, maybe with some sultanas or other dried fruit if you’re feeling fancy, and then with custard poured on it and allowed to soak in and then baked. It comes out kind of like a bready creme brulée.

    I haven’t read ALL the comments because there are a lot of them (this is clearly a passion-inducing issue), but I’m surprised there are very few comments on the fact that Jeff is borderline illiterate on top of everything else. I’d say he’s got a lot bigger problems than fatty snacks.

    A couple women in our office complex decided to raise money for a charity by baking and selling cupcakes. We told them of course we’d buy some. The company upstairs told them they were on a company-wide “wellness program” and they would not be allowed to sell the cupcakes to their employees…

      You mean they wouldn’t be allowed to go to the other company’s premises upstairs and sell them…because if their employees came down to buy them then that’s none of the upstairs bosses’ business.

    I live in Alabama, and when I read this note all I could think was, “you’re not from ’round here, are you jeff”. There are some judgmental people here I admit-and that’s bad, but judging people for eating yummy food is just not something we do. We love food. Obesity is a problem, but it’s a personal problem. I can’t believe this idiot is complaining about cinnamon bun casserole and calling it a ‘sin’ ! moron

      In his defence – and I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate here – gluttony IS one of the seven deadly sins. Whereas boozing it up or getting stoned isn’t, so it’s all good.

    I work with a lot of overweight people who are NOT happy about it but continue to eat crappily. I’ve packed on a bit myself so I’ve gone back to a low-carb, almost vegan diet which I actually like. They roll their eyes at what I eat and say shit like “I’d rather be fat than have to eat that!” I have never once said anything about anyone’s eating habits at work–including the diabetic lady who sneaks into the breakroom to eat handfuls of any birthday cake or cookies left about. I’m not one of those dieters who yammers on about it or claims to have all the answers…so why is it okay for the non-dieters to berate my choices??

    sorry. i’m a fatty w/o much will power. this note is VERY appreciated. why would i want to go to an office where everyone’s fat and getting fatter. why enable us. i’ve noticed that it’s the people w/o weight issues that bring in the crap – and they never eat the crap they bring in.

    Instead of blaming “enablers” why don’t you express some will power?

    Why are we attempting to curtail the happiness of others because a few people cannot control themselves. IN this situation, Jeff is a buttinski and should mind his own business…and his own waistline.
