Ramadan daylight snacking guide for non-muslims
Ramadan Kareem everyone!
I'm not a Muslim. Being here in Ramadan, working full-time in a large office, and not fasting has been an interesting experience. I grew up eating three meals a day and all three meals are 99 percent of the time before 10 pm. To be concise, I will simply die if I don't eat during the day...
Trying to secretly have a snack or a bottle of water in broad daylight without being noticed requires skills.
Raise your hand if you are not fasting and have done any of these-
Skill 1 Look around
I constantly find myself looking to my left and right and then behind, before I lower my head and take a sip of watar from a non-transparent water bottle. One sip at a time.
Skill 2 Hide under the desk
It's probably not the best thing to do but it works. Pretend you are picking up a pen and then quickly stuff a small piece of food into your mouth and sit back up.
Skill 3 Eating in moving vehicles
Tinted windows and back seats preferred. Avoid all traffic cameras. Talk while you chew to give other drivers an illusion that you are just talking.
Skill 4 Small bites
Pack small snacks. Pack snacks that require minimum chewing.
Skill 5 Walk to the cafeteria..
If you are not as lazy as me, just go to the cafeteria (if you have one that still opens during the day) and enjoy your food.

Quiana! i thought like u one time until i saw someone beside me arrested for drinking water.It's funny.They say we make them lust after what we eat or drink.For me if u are serious about what u are doing me eating beside you shouldn't affect u.But to stay out of trouble,we have to play safe...
If you are not a Muslim then why are you thinking about Ramadan..live as you wish to live..you need not to hide from peoples enjoy your food at your convenient time.
