Lunch of Champions

There's a guy who sits in the back of the cafeteria every day, just a table away from where I sit. He's mid-to-late 30's, and appears to be in decent shape, but it won't last. I say that because every day I sit there, diagonally behind him and watch as he eats a burger and fries, has a regular Coke and alternately reaches into one of two different bags of chips. This is his daily lunch. Every day, I either watch him waiting in line for his burger, or I catch the tail-end of his meal, when all he has left is half a bag each of Doritos and Cheetos.

I like eating burgers during the summer, or when a menu is too daunting that I need a simple solution. I like some junk food like Cheetos every now and then. And, about once a week, I'll have a can of soda. But all of these things all at once every workday?

I'm a little self-righteous when it comes to nutrition, but I think that most people would understand when I ask, 'What, has this guy not watched the news or read a magazine anytime in the last decade?'
