The other day they had a “Health Fair” at work. Russ and I got our flu shots, had our blood pressure taken, and put our names into a drawing for prizes which, I’m guessing, we did not win. Also picked up lots of cool giveaways, like pens, pencils, notepads, emory boards, keychains, etc.
A local restaurant, McAllister’s, was serving free food, but in the morning the line was so long, we did not wait. However, later that day I decided to go back over to see if I could still get me some of that free food.
It was about an hour before the Fair was scheduled to end, and all they had left was unsweetened iced tea and vegetarian chili. Both of which are fine with me, but it struck me as ironic that the healthiest offerings were the dregs. All the sweetened tea, meaty chili, meaty little sandwiches…all that was gobbled up first by the attendees at the “Health Fair.” Vegetarian and unsweetened? Yeah, still got some of that stuff to
the bitter end.
Then again, I saw one of the vendors raffling off a giant basket of chocolate. Hmmm…
