the act of pretending you're doing something healthy but really you're just getting off

I told my doctor I was hacking the lettuce to stay fit. He asked if I was eating the lettuce. I said no, just the results.

My dad thinks I'm hacking the lettuce to lose weight. He doesn't know I'm just getting off.

My mom caught me hacking the lettuce while she was cooking. She said I was being lazy.
