food rules

So, my husband and I go out for dinner last friday, and we decide to go to the hometown buffet. We had limited time so we thought that would be quicker, turns out not so quick as I was enamored by the odd, and the down right gruesome eating habits of others. First off, I don't understand that if you can go back as many times as you want, why do people pile on mounds and mounds of food on to one plate, this severely compromises the integrity of each item of food. Then, there was the guy that had an ice cream cone in one hand and a slab of beef in the other alternating bites. It was all I could do to not give these people some much needed counseling regarding eating habits, and even eating hygiene. And then you have the "moppers" the people that use the bread to mop their entire plate clean of any food, only to use the same plate for yet more food. NEWSFLASH! you can get a whole new, clean plate. I came to the conclusion through my observation, that I should probably steer clear of buffets of all kind.
