"I'm Picky!"

This has happened enough times that now, I have to say something.
Why is it....the largest people are the ones who say, "I'm a picky eater"? For a few years now this has really bothered me, as I associate picky eater with being skinny. As a child, we kids were picky, and we were skinny. Cuz, well, no one would make us special meals and we didn't go get takeout; our choices for dinner were "Take it" or "Leave it". So in my mind I couldn't fathom how someone who clearly didn't limit themselves, could be 'picky'.
Today a very large woman came in and started running her mouth about how she is sick of the diet commercials starting all over again, and how she couldn't possibly be on a diet because she is picky. I had to clamp down *hard* on the urge to bray laughter in her face but then I realized, she's right! She may only like ice cream, fast food, chips, etc.! She said she was picky, she didn't say she didn't eat. See, you learn something every day!
