[L-L26161]

I get odd looks at the store as well. I cook every single night for myself and my husband. I usually grocery shop every 2 to 3 weeks. Needless to say I have a somewhat large amount of food that I purchase all at once. Not just for dinner, but for lunches (we pack lunches to be healthier), breakfast items, and snack foods. Despite the fact I buy mainly organic items, lots of fruit and veggies, and entirely healthy foods people will look at me and says 'Geez! You really eat THAT much?' as if to imply I am gorging myself. I am 5'4' and 115 lbs, yet some people stare at the amount of food I purchase with an incredulous look. Sometimes comments are made about the sheer amount. Items I use frequently I buy in bulk. Sale? I'm there. I have wondered why people feel the need to make comments about my food purchasing habits when I am merely attempting to maintain a healthy lifestyle by avoiding prepackaged products. Cooking from scratch requires ingredients. I don't make comments when I see people purchasing nothing but soda, chips, frozen meals, and high fat foods. Yet they make comments about me.
