AITA for eating sardines for lunch every day at work posted:

I'm 31 years old and morbidly obese (6'0" and 315 pounds at my highest), and I have several health problems as a result. Hypertension (on three medications, all max dose), GERD (on a medication), sleep apnea (use CPAP every night), erectile dysfunction (which arguably sucks more than anything else). Last time I had routine bloodwork was over a year ago, and my cholesterol was above "normal" but not high enough to need medication. My blood sugar was okay, thank god. But I'm due for more bloodwork soon, so hopefully that's still the case.

Anyway, I've been trying to eat healthier, and after a lot of trial and error, I've settled on the following lunch:

One can of sardines

Two soft-boiled eggs (marinated in soy sauce, mirin, and sake...also known as ajitsuke tamago)

Three 0.75-ounce pieces of Cabot Seriously Sharp cheddar cheese

20 grape tomatoes

Three mini cucumbers (sliced and seasoned with Tajin)

20 black grapes

This lunch has struck the perfect balance of: 1) relatively cheap (the cheese is more expensive than I'd like, but everything else is reasonable), 2) relatively easy/fast to prepare (the eggs can be a pain to peel and have to be marinated for 24 hours, but everything else can be prepared pretty quickly in the morning), 3) tasty (I legitimately enjoy eating all six of these foods and haven't gotten tired of them yet), and 4) healthy (it's a very nutritious, balanced mix of foods).

I've been doing this for a few weeks and have lost about 10 pounds. The problem is that some of my coworkers dislike the smell of the sardines in the breakroom. Today one of them finally confronted me about it and said that I "need to stop eating those around other people." I said that sardines are a normal food and that I have just as much of a right to eat my lunch in the breakroom as anyone else. She said that if I bring them again next week, then she's going to "file a formal complaint" with my boss.

Honestly I'm not willing to give up my sardines, nor do I feel like I should have to. They're a bonafide wonder food. In addition to being a strong source of healthy protein and omega-3s, they're also a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals, including things that can be lacking in other foods like calcium and vitamin D. And since they're at the bottom of the food chain, you can eat them every day without having to worry about mercury poisoning like with tuna. And they taste great to boot.

So my question is: AITA if I ignore her demands and continue to eat sardines in the breakroom?

P.S.: Some people might ask why I don't just go to my car to eat. I would actually prefer that option even if this whole fiasco hadn't occurred because I'm very introverted, but unfortunately our building and parking lot are both massive, so I'd end up spending half of my break walking back and forth and wouldn't have time to eat, especially since I like to savor my food. And on top of that, the summer is coming up, and I'm not keen on going outside because I sweat profusely at my weight.

The big scallops are usually fake, either skate or shark instead of scallop. The little bay one are usually real.
