Dear Readers: 

Have you ever endured the unpleasant experience of someone criticizing or ridiculing your food choices? One day at lunch, the dietitians were enjoying a party and dining on cheesy foods and rich desserts. A coworker passed by and commented, “Maybe you all should take your name tags off so no one knows that you all are dietitians.”

She thought it was funny; I didn’t.
