Eating is something we do mostly for nourishment, but can also happen for pleasure.
In a lot of cases, people are embarrassed to eat in front of others because they have been shamed in the past about the way they eat or constantly corrected in some way.

Recently, an anonymous post on Facebook went viral after a woman shared how she was fat-shamed by her colleague for ordering a bit of food.
She said in her post that she was out for lunch with her colleagues and ordered a bowl of pan mee, two plates of dumplings and iced coffee. After placing her orders, one of her male colleagues then told her: “No wonder you are so fat, you eat so much.
“I am a man and I don’t even eat that much”
The woman then added that she doesn't feel like she’s overweight, and that she only weighs 58 kg, “After the joke, most of us just didn’t feel like eating anymore,” she added.
跟几个同事一起吃饭，我点了一碗板面、一杯咖啡冰还有两笼点心，一个男同事直接嘲笑说：“难怪你这么胖，平时都吃这么多，我是男的也没你食量大”。本人58kg，瘦是肯定没有但也不算胖，我该怎么怼他！

Apparently, the “joke” did not sit well with Malaysians who took to the comment section to stand up for the woman and criticize the man for his rude “joke,” “Did you take food from his house? Your weight is none of his business.”
“If he is single, tell him this is probably why he’s single. If he’s married, tell him that you feel sorry for his wife who isn’t able to have a satisfying meal at home,” one woman commented.
The post has since garnered over 500 comments at the time of writing.
What do you guys think of this?
