Food Author: Be A Picky Eater, Just Dont Look Like One
HOUSTON (Wireless Flash) Is there anything more embarrassing than being branded a picky eater? Well, a Houston-based dietician has some tips for picky eaters who want to avoid looking finicky in front of friends. Dr. Joanne Lichten says you can prevent a scene by calling the restaurant beforehand and talking to the manager about your dietary needs. Dr. Jo also suggests you ask for the menu to be faxed over, so you can plan a snack attack without asking tons of questions. Also avoid eating during the dinner rush, since the staff wont want to accommodate your pickiness when its busy. Thats a crucial detail, says Dr. Jo because as she puts it ...your friends wont spit in your food, but a miffed waitress definitely will. Dr. Jos newest book, Dr. Jos No Big Deal Diet (Nutrifit), comes out this week.
