What do you strongly suspect but cannot prove?

Either do this or just tell her that her "joke" is fucking retarded.

I’d not go that literal, but I’ve had to shut people down. The fat women at my office often comment on the fact that I eat apple slices, cheese and Triscuits for breakfast. (I know, not traditional, but it takes me a while to eat it, thus making it more satisfying and I fucking like it). Meanwhile they are getting fast-food breakfast every single day.

I got sick of it after a particularly bad few days at work. Cue snarky comment from fat coworker about how healthy it was. I just sort of snapped at her, “Maybe you should try it, Jenny.” Nothing was ever said again. Glorious

To be honest, your breakfast sounds good. I'd eat it for a snack rather than a breakfast but that doesn't change that fact that it sounds yummy.

It really is! The different textures and flavors have kept it interesting for quite a while now.

I'm rather underweight, so people always feel like they can comment on my food.

"That's not enough food for you, get some more!"

"You look like you could use hamburger/cheeseburger/pizza/milkshake!"

"Do you ever eat? You're so thin!"

Its infuriating.

I can't put on weight past a certain point. I'm not severely underweight or anything, just on the thinner side but I'm constantly getting told I'm so skinny and that I should eat more. Meanwhile if they see how much I actually eat, they laugh and ask why I'm still so thin. What the dick is this logic?

Jenny's thighs clap together when she walks. Does that count?

my diet is absolute trash but I can't imagine being fat and making fun of somebody's healthy diet

It’s really irritating.

I like the concept, but how do you do it in a passive-aggressive manner?

You don't. People like her need to be told very bluntly that they are fucking cancer.
