Tough, rigid, and always lookin' for the nearest diner, Ron Swanson has a distinct character throughout the show. As he openly disregards the government, Swanson still manages to be the head honcho of the Parks & Rec Department. In his time here, it has become very evident to everyone everywhere that Swanson has an obsession with food. Well, some would call it an obsession, while to others this is just the daily routine.
Whether he is taking advantage of a free breakfast buffet or boycotting the latest organic, healthy food, Ron Swanson just gives me more reason to want to applaud. I have a serious food addiction. Legitimately. My bank account shows that's where that majority of my money goes. I would drop any amount of money on food without thinking twice; but if it were clothes, I would be asking, "Is this really worth the money?" With food, the answer is always yes.
On so many occasions, I can completely relate to Ron Swanson, especially with food. Typical thoughts that go through my head when I run into food never seem to contradict Swanson.
These are all the times Ron Swanson accurately depicted my feelings (more like love) toward food:
1. C'mon darlin', let me buy you some grub!
2. You're super sore after your workout, but you earned that cheeseburger.
3. Why is it your friends always suggest Panera as the go-to eatery?
4. Uh-oh, it is Taco Tuesday . . . Godspeed!
5. Wait, what is that food truck serving? I'm in.
6. Summer time doesn't seem to end in AZ.
7. Raiding IHOP in the middle of the night is always a good idea.
8. Finally, you see the waitress across the restaurant coming with your food.
9. Wait, did you say free?
10. Investing in a delicious snack draw for work is key.
11. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner every day baby
12. This health kick is gonna work this time. It's fine, I'm fine . . . I SAID I'M FINE!
13. When you see a sample booth down the Costco aisle . . .
14. Excuse me friend, where's mine? -- "At the store"
15. Sweet and simple . . . and let's not forget cheap!
16. Did you just try to touch my food?
17. Ugh, what would the cows think? Such a disappointment.
