new diet strategy: advice from strangers

Odd moment of the morning: I was walking from the dorm over to the academic building for devotions, sweet roll in hand for a late breakfast. A man, probably in his 50s, who I hadn't met, stopped me and said in Russian, "Why are you eating that? You need to lose weight." I mentally sputtered and then explained that it was my breakfast. He replied in English, "Lunch," and so I said, "No, breakfast." Then we went our separate ways.

I'm used to random comments from people about various things in my life, but this one seemed a bit uncalled for, since it was a complete stranger about something quite personal. Ironic, since most Ukrainians tell me to eat.
