Washington Post: Why a looming storm makes us think we can eat all the junk food we want
Thursday night, a day before the storm was due to pound us with blizzard conditions, American University students Miranda Oliver and Ashley Sillaro were casually wheeling out of the Columbia Heights Target with two six-packs of Blue Moon and hard cider. These were backups, said Oliver, 21, in case the beer she’d bought just a day earlier ran out.
On that trip, she added, “I got like three things of ice cream. And I don’t even really like ice cream.”
“We were going to get an ice-cream cake,” added Sillaro, 20.

After I saw the words “American University,” I was sure they were 20 something idiots that probably expect the gov’t to save them.Report
I ate fast food tonight because it was the only thing within walking distance that was open. A big comedown from the 16-oz rib-eyes we had last night. (What is it about a business trip that makes us think we can eat steak every night? Probably that we’re not paying for it.)Report
