Qualche volta mangio la cena per colazione

"You eat dinner for breakfast? Now that's plain weird."
The first time I had heard this from someone, I wanted to jump through the telephone wire, land in her kitchen, and give her a good ZsaZsa Gabor smack (the kind that is heard AROUND THE WORLD).
So, why all the fuss over a stupid comment made by someone who has diarrhea of the mouth?
Glad you asked!
This is from the type of person who likes the listeners to know how educated and well-read she is. I infrequently will call her on her blah-blah-blah. I'll ask questions or make statements such as, "I don't know where that came from. The literature is not robust on that subject matter," or "What was your primary source and when were these findings published? Also, was it done by a blind study and were confounding variables included?"
Most of the time, however, I simply let her be. She is retired and she has scant others outside her Yahoo! usergroups who give the proverbial rat's ass.
I take it somewhat personally because at this time in my life I am actually focusing on body image. Over the past year and a half, I have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-55 pounds. It's been slow and there have been times when the weight bounces up and down within a five-pound range making the chart look like an infinite expression of a sine wave.
The CDC calls me overweight and I don't like it. Yes, I DO care what the CDC's non-sentient reports think of me. I present myself as a healthcare worker and should be an example for others.
So, I have told Miss Know-it-All, that the meals I prepare are quite common in the Americas. While mind contain little to no meat, I manage to get the needed protein with beans and vegetables. I also remind her that she's not being invited to the table and also that this is MY story and that she should save her questions for the end.
Oddly enough, she has been called boring based on her repeated diet of toast, two eggs, and flavored coffee with 2% milk. Shrug. She, by contrast, is not interested in body image and is of the mind that anyone who is is either narcissistic or a sufferer of some obsessive compulsive disorder. I have also reminded her that she has not been educated as a diagnostician and should keep her unprofessional comments to herself. But... I've known her for a long time and she has become like that annoying family member whom one cannot not invite to the function.
