So I was in Costco, looking for the Kerrygold. They’d moved it from its usual place. Another woman was wandering the same aisle, about my age and chubbiness, obviously searching for something, so we started talking. She didn’t know where the Kerrygold was, and wondered if I’d seen her favorite yogurt. “It’s nice and sweet, and almost non-fat so it’s very healthy” she said, adding that she could only eat nonfat foods or she’d gain more weight…
Ok, ok, I know I should have let it go, smiled and walked away…but that’s just not me. Yeah, I told her that I’d lost nearly 80lbs eating FAT, and had never felt better in my life.
I only wish I’d had my phone out so I could have filmed the contortions her face went through!!! (And I’d thought she looked disgusted when I asked about the Kerrygold!)
That look of pure horror
Hahaha! Priceless! I told the cheese shop clerk I eat a high fat diet & she looked surprised but also impressed lol, my WOE is good for her cash registers
I like to smile as I tell people I basically live on bacon, butter, and eggs. It’s a simplification but gets the point across. This is usually interesting as who doesn’t love bacon and eggs… then I throw the “but” in there of not eating bread and sugar. That’s usually when the “Oh, I could never do that” in words or looks kicks in from them.
The ladies at Aldi no longer look shocked when I stroll up with a box full of Kerrygold, bacon, and sausage.
I sometimes say, “I run on fat” or “I’m fat fueled” and mostly get laughs.
When I’m in a troll-mood, I pick up meats and foodstuffs, look at the nutritional label and moan: “Yuk! Not enough fat”
I take my family to a local BBQ place, and they will ask when you come to the serving line “what’ll you have? And your sides?” Usually, my family and other folks who order will say “Mac and cheese” or other carby sides. Me? I say “a pound of brisket. The end.”
The guys serving behind the counter always smile wide, put my sliced pound of brisket on the tray and say “enjoy!” They seem to be happy I’m just there for the meat. I love that. I don’t get that anywhere else.
Shopping with my dh. Half cart big box super greens, butter, middle cut natural uncured bacon, brie, fatty meats. My skinny husband’s side cereals, bagels, white bread, low fat cheese, crackers and cookies. Anyone looking at this cart would guess wrong on which side is for my fat self and for my lean hubby. He stays thin naturally (his whole birth family too)) but aches all the time, sleeps poorly.

side note: why does costco constantly move the kerrygold?!?!??! at my costco it’s in a different spot every time i go.
They know people who eat Kerrygold are primal eaters so they are trying to satisfy your
drive to hunt down your food.
As to why Costco keeps moving the Kerrygold: - to keep you looking for it so you’ll find other stuff in the process. Marketing.
but this seems unique to kerrygold. cascade, huggies wipes, wool socks, acetominophen are always in the same place. kerrygold buyers are more likely to buy other stuff?
