But you are right, the issue does lie within them. I think many food pushers are trying to excuse their own behavior or to get you to join the club, figuring that if you do it, it's ok for them to do it as well.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541063560610380587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492790587701187452.post-89709365530509315252007-11-28T12:37:00.000-08:002007-11-28T12:37:00.000-08:00My opinion is that the food pushers may think that...My opinion is that the food pushers may think that since they can justify to themselves the reasons they are taking just one bite, or one piece, or one plateful, that they should be able to justify to you why you should do the same. My least favorite is the offended food pusher. If you politely decline their pushing of the food, they take it as a personal affront. I have only run across one of these in my time, and I've decided the problem lies with them. They don't want to be reminded that maybe their choices aren't the best, and anyone's polite refusal of their food is the reminder they don't want. These are their issues, not yours, though it's still difficult to extricate yourself from such awkward situations.<BR/><BR/>People get so testy about food. It's so weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
