Making it More Obvious

So I was offered to meet Holly and Dad for dinner tonight at a restaraunt. I did not decline as my choices were that or finding something to eat here. I did not like my choices. So I went. And apparently I'm on a health kick right now because I turned to the Healthy Eating section of the menu.

I, however, did not order anything from that menu. And I'll tell you why. I was put off that I had to say "I would like the Eat Healthy (Trademark) Such and Such." Why would I want to say that and make it aware for everyone out there that I am, in fact, eating healthy? Wouldn't it be nice for me to say I want to eat something that sounds normal? Is that too much to ask? They name it that way because the "Eat Healthy" option is a variation of a normal menu item, they are just too lazy to find another name for it that would make it a unique menu option. Instead they tack a trademarked name onto it and let it be. And that's just lazy.

So instead of ordering a healthy alternative I just ordered some plain and simple (and probably pretty bad for me) food item from the normal menu.

But it was much better than anything I would have come up with in the house.
