What kind of an eater are you?

From locavores to femivores, to fast food junkies and punk domestics, here are 11 labels for every kind of person at the dinner table.

9. Fast food junkie / Philanderer

 The fast food junkie eats fast food for the sake of convenience – they don't (or can't) carve out the time (or own the tools) to marinate and grill a flank steak. They'll buy frozen pizzas and soda and compare prices on Hot Pockets. These are the people to whom Taco Bell markets a taco with a shell made of Doritos. Fast food junkies most likely don't even care about all the scientific research comparing the nutrition of a poorly made hamburger to an equivalent sized brick of Uranium-238. Some people call them ignorant. They call themselves blissful.

Philanderers have food affairs. To all outward appearances, philanderers are healthy eaters. A glance in their fridge reveals vegetables and organic meat products with nary a gram of fructose in sight. They might even lecture you on the benefits of healthy eating. But their lives are like a bad parody of an Eagles song: Philanderers can't hide their lyin' eyes. Or the ketchup stains on their shirt collars.
