I think it's kinda funny..but what is the point?

Question

I work at pizza hut and alot of people get a salad but than eat pizza or wings..What is the point of the salad than? I think it's funny that i'm wondering this..cuz it's really stupid but oh well lol.

i realize that salad just isn't for losing weight. I like the taste of salad too ...i was just wondering..geesh..

Answer 1

the salad is so you can fill the time until your pizza comes..

Answer 2

that is kinda strange. I think they may want to pretend like they will be healthy and eat the salad, but when the food comes, all they can thinki about is the pizza. Also, some people will have a slice or two of pizza,then salad, and then eat the pizza again. Some people may save the salad for tomorrows lunch.

I dont know exactly.. but those are some observations I've noticed from my friends who do that..

Answer 3

Well not all people eat salad just to lose weight. I eat salad often for the nutritional value or to kinda fill me up occasionally so I won't eat as much of other food. It counts as your vegetables for the day, and can include other healthy additions, like chicken, fruit... The main reason is likely that salad tastes really good!

Answer 4

maybe it's because people think that if they eat salad before, they'll cut the craving for pizza or wings. but then they can't resist watching all the high-metabolism people consuming all the pizza they want, and they think "oh, what the heck."

then again, maybe it's simply because salad is yummieful. or they are die-hard healthy eaters, and going to a fast food restaurant and getting a salad is their equivalent of treating them self. or maybe they have a WISHBONE SALAD SPRITZER in their purse.

Answer 5

1. salad tastes good
2. for someone not wanting to gorge on pizza, it can take up some stomach space so not as much pizza is eaten
3. salad can be used as an appetizer
4. salad tastes good

Answer 6

The person who orders salad at a pizza joint is trying to cut calories by filling up on salad so they will only eat one slice of pizza instead of four. At least thats what I do. :)

Answer 7

I like how people THINK because they are eating
a whole wheat sandwich with low cal meat, a diet soda and diet cookies
They think they can eat three times as much just because it is diet

People ordering salad to go with their pizza MIGHT be figuring if they didn't get the salad to help fill them up they might eat MORE pizza.
I think it does LOOK funny how people do two things that look contradictory to each other;

Answer 8

Don't feel bad for asking your question. A person may want some veggies to balance it out, that's all. Most of the time, I don't like all those veggies on my pizza. I rather have meat and cheese on it and if I want, a salad on this side,

I hope this helps out.

Answer 9

salad = healthy, pizza = not so healthy. i guess people eat salad before pizza because they are trying to be a bit healthy or want to fill up on salad instead of that one person eating most of the pie!

Answer 10

If you sit down to eat a nice meal you will eat a salad , I dont care for hem but this has to be good for you and if you eat this maybe not so much of everything else will be eating

Answer 11

The salad will clean you out. The body doesn't digest the lettuce the same as the bread and meat and cheese, so it will "sweep" your digestive tract.

But I'm guessing these same people who order the salad are also ordering Diet Coke... and a Meat Lovers Extra Cheese Special. Cracks me up too! Fat people...
