shoo, the gas station burger comes with fries

Firstly: I am now paying more attention to what I eat than I ever have in my life. The primary reason for this is that I have, in a very official way, stopped buying any products containing partially hydrogenated oils. This may sound extreme to some, but did you know that even one gram of trans fat, eaten on a regular basis, can increase your risk of heart disease 20%? (Will site source for this when re-find it.) It is also linked to cancer amongst other afflictions. Plus, if you don't eat it for a while you realize that it actually makes you feel mildly ill when you do eat it.

Anyway, this also means that I've almost completely stopped eating fast food over the past few months. So now, at my horrible temping job, I usually bring a lunch that is comprised of whole grains, raw vegetables, cottage cheese, etc. Yesterday the people who sort of share my cubicle were talking about where to go for lunch. One of them wanted to go to Burger King, the other wanted to go to the gas station across the parking lot, which incidentally sells burgers as well as fuel (lucky public!!). This in and of itself wasn't so bad, but listening to them discuss the details of their preferences, and having my mind filled with the merits of flat, greasy, death-inducing burgers and soggy fries made me feel sick.

I think I may have crossed some line. I might now be one of those food snob health-junkies who annoys everyone by snacking on carrots. I'm sorry.
