Does it bother you to be around someone with awful eating habits?

Firstly, I don't eat the best diet. And I know its not my business what other people eat. But when I'm around someone who eats nothing but junk I have the urge to cook them a real meal or something.

For example my friend only eats frozen dinners and snacks on chips and cookies non stop, and drinks only soda or kool aid. I don't think I've seen her eat a veggie in months. Or even fruit. She lets the fruit in her house rot and goes for girl scout cookies instead.

Don't get me wrong I love chips and cookies but they're something I eat once a day at the most, not 70% of my diet.

One of these days I'm gonna make her something for dinner lol.

Does it bother you at all?

It really does bother me. I'm vegan and extremely passionate about health and my boyfriend is a huge meat and dairy eater who cares nothing about his health. I love being healthy and it's really not hard for me to be this way on my own, but when I'm with him, he becomes a really bad influence. I hate eating unhealthy because it doesn't make me feel my best, I feel sick afterwards, bloated, I break out in acne, it's terrible. It's just hard when he constantly wants to eat out, go to mcdonalds, and order in takeout. I want him to care about his health too. He doesn't even have to go vegan, but he could at least eat some fruits and veggies and cut down on the bologna and the nasty canned stuff he calls food. I want him to live a long and healthy life by my side. My grandmother was healthy her whole life and my grandpa could care less about his health, now she has to take care of him every second of every day because of how bad his health is. I can see how terrible it is for her, I can see how stressed she is to have to be his wife, his nurse, his maid, and his cook. She does it because she loves him, but I feel like if you really love that person you want to spend the rest of your life with, then that means taking care of yourself and making sure that you both have the highest quality of life possible.
But that's just me... I hope he smartens up some day. It makes me feels sick to my stomach when I watch him eat a whole block of cheese to himself with a giant pepperoni stick on the side. It also worries me because I love him and I don't want to see him end up with diabetes or prostate cancer.

I totally feel you. I'll never be a vegan but as soon as I am out of my parents house and buying my own food it's gonna be radically different.

I like the occasional bag of chips or a pizza but when its someone's everyday diet I feel as if I can feel cancer forming or something.

I think that's why it bothers me, because I imagine what its doing to their bodies :/

Have you talked to your bf about this?

It doesn't really bother me. I'm quite absent minded and don't even notice stuff like that. I guess the only time I might get worried and feel bothered is if someone is having health problems due to their bad diet. I might be more aware then.

It doesn't bother me unless that person is constantly talking about wanting to live a healthier lifestyle but always eating McDonalds.
