I think I have a freak magnet.

We had to get up and leave the house earlier than normal today to take my sister to work so on the way home I decided to take the kids to Starbucks for a treat.

We're sitting there, both kids are very happily chowing down on a sugar-laden danish. This man sitting nearby turned to me, made a disgusted face at what the kids were eating and in a very snide and dissapproving tone, "You know, they have oatmeal here."

I was surprised but just said, "Yeah, I know. They've had it before, but today we're here for a sweet treat." 

He then started in on a lecture, "Have you heard about genetically modified foods? The government is trying to cover up and censor the TRUTH! The lab animals are DYING! It's a form of OPRESSION! The people who are trying to get the TRUTH out are being PERSECUTED, they're being FIRED from their jobs. The animals are DYING!" (His rant was actually much longer and rambling and drawn out than this, but you get the picture.)

All I could do was shake my head and say, "Uh-huh...um, yeah..." 

Weirdo. Who approaches a random woman with two kids and starts lecturing them on food, LOL?

Ha, freak magnet!

You should have told him that your kiddies like danish with their espresso in the morning. Very European. LOL

The funny thing is that the Starbucks we went to is directly across from the law school and judging by the stack of books that this man had with him, it's pretty safe to assume that he's a law student.

Duh - how better to attack the oppressors than to lead the cause in suing the government to uncover the conspiracies!!!

You should've replied...look buddy.  I was voted the crunchiest mommy on the nest, you don't need to tell me anything.

And left that jackass speechless.

And if he is so against it, then why is he supporting a place that supposedly sells that food?  Strange!

LMAO. I'm not opposed to a little conversation over my coffee: the weather, my kids, how the Mariner's suck, etc. I don't need to hear your farming conspiracy theories at Starbucks. Crazy nut.
