[quote=Anonymous]Just because someone is your boss doesn't mean they get to enforce certain rules on their employees that reflect their personal beliefs and such.

To dictate another person's diet is simply advancing your own agenda (unless you are a Dr.). Seriously. This lady is a huge advocate for healthy eating and believes that Mickey D's is not a place where her children should eat at. More power to her. 
What she needs to realize is that not ALL parents believe as she does. I allow my children to eat at Mickey D's on an occasional basis. In moderation. That is my choice but I would NEVER force this "agenda" on anyone else.

OP, your boss is trying to get you to eat what she eats. She wants to convert you to eating the way she and her kids eat and that is just WRONG on so many levels. Since you were asked to bring your own food, you have a right to bring whatever you want to bring.
She is not in her right to tell you to bring edamame or tofu or God knows what.

I agree this is not about food at all.
It is all about power.
She wants to control you.

Do not give in.
If you start bringing carrots to snack on, she will ask you not to bring ranch dip to dip them into.
If you start to bring peanut butter sandwiches to work, she will ask you to only bring them 1x wk because they are fattening.

If you give in now, you will create a monster that will just make this job a lot harder in the future.

Stick to your guns.[/quote]
