You can't stop the snacking!

I snack. Like a beast.

Which is why my heart cries when libraries/lecturers/other places prohibit eating. I mean, I get ya, I really do. Snacking on crunchy, noise-making, messy things can be bothersome and sometimes destructive; I'm definitely not the cleanest eater on the block.

But, I'm in the ER right now [I'm okay, it's Snowflake who's in minor cahoots (but he's okay, too!)], and I couldn't help but whip out my apple.

I did think twice, though. Nosocomial infections are no joke!

But I ate it anyway. [I did, however, snoop the walls to see if Alta Bates has any "No Food" signs. I couldn't find such impediments.]

And just as I was pulling out my baggie of carrots to continue the snack-a-thon, I read, "No Food in Waiting Area." Ugh, it's in bold yet stealthily embedded in an unrelated sign! You don't put a "No Food" sign on an informational Medicaid placard!
