I prefer my salad naked, but some folks prefer ranch.

That kid is beyond annoying. He's a journalist? More like a whinger.

We are only given so much time on this earth and I'm sorry I wasted 5 minutes of it reading this trash.

Excuse my octogenarian ignorance, but what is a "Whinger"?

Australian for Whiner. Best word I learned while living there.

Thank you for the explanation, but I wonder how a Slovenian came up with an Australian term.

I'm an American working in Slovenia who spent most of 2011 living in Australia.

Good article. Thanks.
Too bad so many over weight people won't read it or understand the consequences of using it. Sour Cream is another unnecessary addition to so many foods.

I prefer eating salad with my clothes on. :-)

Ranch dressing is great for wings, fried onions and fried mushrooms (if you're into those types of foods, which the author of that WaPo article doesn't appear to be), I agree it's weird on fries, but in Europe they put mayonnaise on fries, and that's even weirder to the American palate. (But at least it's usually real mayonnaise, not that stuff in a jar.)

I prefer a little salad on my salad dressing!

Blue Cheese, as long as the blue part hasn't grown blue hair.

This'll date me, but the Playboy Club in Chicago had the best Roquefort salad dressing. These days I tend to make my own Thousand Island dressing, starting with making my own mayonnaise.
