[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know... I love eating other people's food. A simple bowl of pasta warmly served to me, in good company, is just as good as any. It doesn't have to be a dietician's dream bowl of food. [/quote]

I'm not going to eat other people's food just to prove a point. I might pick at it but that's as good as it will get. If the people cared that much about it they would probably solicit opinions first to find out what their guests like. OP didn't really care and just made what she and her kids wanted.[/quote]

It was an impromptu lunch, not a planned in advance dinner party. It was literally one meal on one day. Is everyone truly so disordered with their eating that they couldn’t suck it up?[/quote]

None of that is the point. Even OPs friend ate it, we're just saying on its face it's not a good lunch. It's not. If you want to count how many penne noodles I eat then you're a sucky friend too.[/quote]

Define "good."

This reminds me of the thread about thanksgiving for vegetarians when people were freaking out about BUT WHAT IS THE VEGETARIAN PROTEIN OPTION!!! Ma'am thanksgiving is the best carbs of the year, let them eat sides. No one is dying from one low protein meal.

The orthorexia on this thread is nuts. [/quote]

I already defined good several posts back. Now you define good. If you think butter noodles is it, then we can agree to disagree. The pasta lovers poopooed something with a little bit of everything. It's clear you're just playing devil's advocate at this point because you can't offer up your own definition of a solid lunch.[/quote]

My first post on the thread, but ok. I'm not failing to offer up my own definition of a solid lunch because serving a "solid lunch" is somewhat beside the point. Sure, whip out some carrot sticks. Or don't. My point was that it's fine to just eat something that doesn't look like the USDA guidelines for a meal and when someone is serving you in their home you need to relax. [/quote]

Who said refuse to eat and dump it on the floor? Maybe you should read the thread.[/quote]

I...never said that someone said to refuse to eat and dump it on the floor? Weird take. And I did read the thread. My point is that serving something and eating something that isn't an ideal lunch according to whatever nutrition standards isn't that big of a deal. A good lunch is one shared with friends. [/quote]

It's like we're all 5 and need to eat a Usda school lunch with a cracker, slice of baloney, slice of cold cheese, skim milk, and some apple slices instead of a beautiful bowl of hot pasta. [/quote]

Oh, and a little iceberg lettuce. We mustn't be naughty and not have a vegetable. [/quote]
