The Chef’n Marketing Team is on a healthy eating crusade. We’re eating quinoa instead of pasta, replacing brie with Laughing Cow Lite, and choosing to layer our sandwiches with turkey rather than roast beef. That’s a lot of lunch-time sacrifices, people.

Most of the time our healthy meal choices make us feel good. We’re proud that we stuck to the diet plan yet another day, and happy that we’ve earned ourselves a glass of wine or beer at dinner (No need to point out the dietary cancellation effect of said alcoholic beverage. We’ll just ignore you.).

But today, was not one of those “feel good” days. Today all we did was pick unenthusiastically at our healthy lunches while daydreaming  about the unhealthiness  we wished was on our plates.

I personally wished my salad of spring greens and assorted vegetables (FYI: Raw green beans in salad? Not that good.) would magically transform into a cheeseburger and onion rings. No catsup,  mayo or tomato. Just mustard, barbecue sauce, lettuce, pickle and onion. Please and thank you.

Jessica, our marketing manager, asked if anyone wanted to trade her lentil soup and Luna Bar for some teriyaki, egg rolls and chocolate chip cookies. Weird combo, right? But hey, when you need a cookie, you need a cookie.

And I’m willing to bet our production artist, Kyle, would have given his brand new house for a cheese- and pepperoni-laden pizza. And not just a slice, the man wants a whole pizza. Unfortunately, he was stuck with a rather boring turkey sandwich. Whamp whaaamp.

What about you? Any struggles with your diet? What bad-for-you foods do you usually crave?
