Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Anyone remember the discussion last week about what to do about the company provided lunches? Well, I got a notice of another required lunch for next week. I emailed the planner and said, hey any chance there will be salad? And explained that last time I purchased a salad from the vendor (with my own $) so that I could still eat with the others.... Her reply was.... disappointing. She said, I really hate to start taking special orders... then everyone will want to special order. Then she ended it with saying when I decide where I am ordering, I will let you know. It was in a " short " kind of tone. What ever. I think part of what ticks me off is that if it were a medicial requirement.... life or death... the attitude would probably be completely different. I am feeling so much better, that I refuse to let anyone or any thing keep me from doing what I know is obviously right. (for my body anyway.) Thanks for listening to me whine.........

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well that is the difference Leah. Eating raw is not a life or death situation. An allergy to peanuts would be a life or death situation. You require raw, perhaps now I want some soul food, the third person wants an Arabic dish. The planner is right. There are children dying in the streets of Baghdad and you are whining because you can't have a salad.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Leah, In a way it is a matter of life and death, just the degree. As you know, raw fooders, vegans and vegetarians live longer. As for the children in the streets of Baghdad, if we all ate raw there would be more than enough food to feed the world and we would all be operating on a higher energetic level so that there would be peace in the world as our energy evolved toward the level of our Source. BTW, I don't think that trying to arrange to eat in a manner that is healthier for you and better for the planet is whining.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I would just bring my own food and eat it wheather they like it or not. They cant fire you for eating something healthy. If they wont provide it at their cost, just bring your own meal like you would any other day and leave it at that. Some times you just cant fight the system. Just keep in mind, that in the long run, you will be the healthier one! paddlerwoman wrote: Leah, In a way it is a matter of life and death, just the degree.
