How do you deal with eating habits when living with room mates?

I am a 19 year old female and in a couple of weeks I will be moving into student apartments. I will fill out a room mate matching questionaire, but I don't think "eating habits" is on it. I am a very healthy eater, no soda, rarely eat junk food or fast food, eat lots of organic stuff. I am afraid my room mates will be the stereotypical college student who eats fast food and pizza all the time. I CANNOT handle that! Does anyone have advice on how to deal with that?How do you deal with eating habits when living with room mates?
You really cannot control what your roommates eat or how they eat or when they eat. These are strangers who have no stake in you at all, thrown together. If the roommates you get have such heinous eating habits you cannot tolerate them (how in hell are you going to deal with the real world after you get out of school--people are NOT going to do as you want them to and you are going to have to learn how to tolerate a whole lot of disagreeable things), look around for people you can live with and see if you can move. People change roommates a lot in college, just fine other people who are more or less living as you are.
If there is a comment section on your questionnaire, you may want to say something there. If not, just make your eating habits known as soon as possible. Also just because they don't eat what you eat doesn't make you better than them. Don't forget that you may be driving people crazy with your habits. You have already shown that only certain kinds of people make you happy. You are also stereotypical. There are plenty of people who can't stand you.How do you deal with eating habits when living with room mates?
Tough it out. I mean just because their not as strict with food as you are, doesn't mean they have to starve. There's a thing called going to the store to get things to eat, and water. If your that stressed, just write it down on the questionaire.
MYOB.



Why do you care what your roommate eats? If you have an issue with their eating habits, that's your own problem and if you can't overlook it then you have to switch rooms.
You can only control what YOU eat, not what everyone else eats. You either have to deal with it or live alone. Maybe you can request health food roomies.
I'd LOVE to....but tumm....I have allergies.
