I agree with you for the most part, but being from a "Southern Comfort Food"/Tex-Mex state, I notice that a LOT of people here don't realize what they are eating is bad for them, it's a cultural thing.

For instance, I'm a half breed (Czech & Mexican) and had previous co-workers tell me they didn't understand why I wouldn't eat tortillas. Mind you tortillas are just lard, flour & hot water...but because my co-workers did not see it as "fast-food" they thought it was fine.

So I can see why you got pissy with your coworkers, but at the same time, it's entirely possible they really don't realize what is good for them.
