Memoirs of an overpriced salad

by Ariana Pezeshki

“That salad is $18 better be good… Oh, that’s not what I was expecting.”

We’ve all been in that situation at a restaurant, you’re trying to be healthy, and that salad is way overpriced. Sometimes, the most expensive thing on the menu, and sometimes, secretly the most fattening!

It’s crazy to think that some salads could be healthier for you than ordering a burger off the menu. How disappointing. I’ve been in that place - far too many times when I’m dieting and you want to go out and be social with your friends, but you have to be the boring one and order the damn salad. Friends that try to make you give in to temptations are another story. “Come on, a piece of pizza won’t hurt”, Actually it will. Life and dieting is all about moderation and balance, but if you give in every time one of your friends tell’s you to “screw the diet!” “Have fun!” You really won’t be making progress, or doing yourself any favors. At the end of the day I’ll stick to my overpriced salads, and be happy about it.
