I remember a radio episode where Howard Stern said his mother-in-law always did this in his kitchen when he had prepared some microbiotic dish or diet combination of food in a bowl that she had never heard of and just HAD to know what it was. But she stuck her big nose over it...AS IF THIS WERE HER TERRITORY TO GO SNOOPING! Ha! Howard ranted about that for 10 minutes, it was kinda funny because I could relate. We have sneeze guards at salad bars specifically so people won't go breathing all over the food. Maybe we should invent personal sneeze guards to hang from our necks to prevent snoopy mother-in-laws and other busy bodies from sticking their big probosces over our food. Do you have someone like this in your home? How do you deal with it? What is that instinct that makes people in a civilized society still want to stick their faces so close to the food? It's smell, right? WELL DON'T GO SNIFFING MY FOOD, O.K.? SNIFF YOUR OWN! Ha! I'm joking here. But maybe not really.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic! Get started today!

huge pet peeve of mine!! I hate that, when i first started this job everyone would try that with me - while i am eating something they stop and waltz over and bend down over the table to sniff my food. NOT going to happen. I always keep a paper towel while i'm eating and since i already anticipate their obnoxious behavior, i quickly place the napkin over it and just tell them what i'm eating, they get the message.

YES! Especially if I eat in the office kitchen. GEEZ! Get away from me already! I find it rude and really irritating. Get your own box!

We have a guy who does this at college, even when its so obvious, with a chocolate bar in particular, I think he expects us to offer him some - ha, girls do not share chocolate!

No; that hasn't happened to me, but if someone tried that, I'd black their eye!

Never happened. Not important.
