its outdated asf. 

 

seriously i wish people could just chill and maybe smoke if anything not eat??????!!!!!!!!!!

[SearchingForSaff]

YES.

Everything seems to revolve around food. It's a bit easier in summer/nice weather, when you can do stuff like go to the park, go to festivals, etc, but it's harder in winter when you have to do things indoors.

I agree, it always happens and I hate it.

[BoneDancer]

Although it's absolutely true, there's not much we can do to change society.

Most of the so-called food that people socialize around is toxic and over processed.

If everyone wants to make food the center piece of their day the least they should do is eat non-animal protein sources.

Always remember MEAT is MURDER!

Agreed

[oh.wow.lovely...]

you could suggest a coffee date and get black coffee or plain tea! or i’m currently doing whole 30 which gives me the excuse to have a salad with no dressing, no cheese, and (depending on the restaurant) no meat! for ex the other day i had 1/2 a salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, salsa, and grilled chicken. i used the restaurants website nutrition calculator and the whole salad was about 155 cal, and i only ate 1/2 of it and let me tell y’all it was damn delicious

I do!! I get so frustrated, It would be okay if it was say, Going out for coffee or tea or something, But 1000 calorie meals where you're too busy stuffing your face to communicate with eachother? No thanks, I'd rather go walk trails, Go shopping, Even watch a movie at home

GOD i relate; my friends from my senior high school year asked me to hang out after a year of not seeing each other and of COURSE they want to go a place called junkies (the name is enough) or a place called chocolate bar (again, the name is enough). it's so frustrating, why cant they at least choose to have normal homemade food or healthy snacks.

I’m resentful of it. I don’t eat anything at parties if I can. I avoid activities, too.

[JacksCompleteLackofSurpris]

Super annoying.
Saw a friend on Saturday (finally) and they wanted dinner then a movie. Ummmm i don't like doing either of those things, please?? Lol
Then made plans to visit a family member Sunday and they wanted to go out to eat as well. Wtf just stop.

This is why you have to research places beforehand
Parks, lakes, creeks, sports, rollerskating, ice skating, hiking, skiing, waterboarding, surfing
You could take an art, music class together
You could go to a museum, rollercoaster park

These are places that don't completely focus on food and will burn calories in the meantime

[SugarKatX]

Yep, in our culture (and many cultures around the globe, especially westernized ones) eating food with friends, acquaintances, family, coworkers, etc. is a "bonding occasion" cherished by most regular people. This, in my opinion, is likely because of the major food industry practically at its peak right now.

Yeah bowling is always a good one if you need an activity inside

[stopit-ly]

Welk, a hangout is like 3-5 hours without eating, and normal people get hungry during this time frame lol. Funny how people don't have a good time without food when for us it's the opposite.

Ooh yes, I love bowling

[peachykee.n]

i hate it !! coffee dates are much better. just coffee. almost no calories

[beautyfromashes]

Ugh yes! I hate this too!

 

I really hate holidays because of this as well. So much food around alllll the time....

[Prim Poppy]

Because most of the world is fat.

[cutebunny5]

So I generally like to be alone, but on the off chance I want to go out with my friends or go on a date, everyone thinks it is completely necessary to involve some sort of food. Am I the only one who gets frustrated by this??

 

I was just thinking about this yesterday when I was asked out last minute, followed by a panic because I already "ate", followed by being judged at the table for not eating "enough". But it's either that or don't go out. 

[pdftm]

I couldn't agree more.
Browsing event pages, looking for things to do, here in the city, and all the events are food events, events being held in restaurants and such, or things like wine tasting or wine and art nights.
It's nearly impossible to find stuff do to that doesn't involve food.
