The good thing about when people bring doughnuts into the office: you don’t need infinite will power, you just have to outlast 12 other people. I think I’ve had a doughnut this millennium but I am pretty sure I’ve not had one this decade. Same for Big Macs.
Well…once in a while, a nice piece of “junk food” is good for your soul. If you put limits on what is good & bad food, without paying attention to what the good food is really composed of, you may as well just eat a hearty helping of “Whatever” & be done with it.
OK, we can quit arguing about guns! The bad buys have moved on. In England they have gone to knives but in Austin Texas they are now using BOMBS! Since FedEx delivered them we need to ban FedEx. FedEx just enables people to kill more and faster. (Same reasoning as guns)
And since drunk drivers kill so many (more than PEOPLE with guns) we need to ban cars. People don’t need cars any more than they need guns. - I don’t know, the real common denominator is PEOPLE. Maybe instead of politicians and Hollywood stars getting publicity, votes, etc by taking the easy path and grabbing the low hanging fruit, maybe we ought to go after the REAL problem, PEOPLE. - Maybe instead of passing laws to seize guns when somebody calls and says another person is a threat, we need to seize the dangerous person and handle that issue. Oh excuse me, that takes thought. That takes effort. That takes effort. Lets take the easy road instead. Go after the guns that can do nothing and let the evil people move on to other venues as they appear to already be doing. Morning news says one of the packages detonated had a trip wire which showed an increase in sophistication. The bad guys are learning. - I honestly hope that we don’t tackle this problem like we fought VietNam. We kept fighting WWII style but the problem in warfare had changed and we didn’t. The tools used by evil people are changing, we need to stop the evil people but it won’t be easy.
As long as you count calories, you can lose weight on donuts. Search for CNN’s “Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds” article. Long term effects on health are unknown but as a temporary weight loss measure, a few months couldn’t hurt.
Except this is backwards. To parody today you would need a skinny person standing in front of a closed donut shop with a sign saying they are trying to help the fat person who is making donuts in their house lose weight.
Just a note: owned a donut shop, truck drivers outnumbered cops by over 100 to one as customers. All that time spent behind the steering wheel had more to do with their girth around the earth than donuts. At least the sugar high kept them awake, with the coffee.
“ Remember that the fool in the eyes of the gods and the fool in the eyes of man are very different. One who is entirely ignorant of the modes of Art in its revolution or the moods of thought in its progress, of the pomp of the Latin line or the richer music of the vowelled Greeks, of Tuscan sculpture or Elizabethan song may yet be full of the very sweetest wisdom. The real fool, such as the gods mock or mar, is he who does not know himself. I was such a one too long. You have been such a one too long. Be so no more. Do not be afraid. The supreme vice is shallowness. Everything that is realised is right ”
And then of course there’s the alt-socialist world, where socialism actually DOESN’T lead to mass oppression, coercion, poverty, misery, and confiscation of property. No examples yet – ever – anywhere – but that doesn’t stop them from hallucinating.

Do Nots are better for you! But a powdered sugared jelly filled donut is irresistible…Do I have powdered sugar on my nose? Cheeks? Or in my hair?

Technically, they’ll probably weigh a lot less at age 70 than those that exercise.

Yes, donuts will help prevent weight loss. If you’re afraid of losing weight then more donuts may well be the answer.

You may have to exclude any actual meals to make this work.

Sounds like the “Planet Fitness” marketing strategy. My advice is to get to a real gym and lay off the donuts and pizza.

My tried and true two-step method for losing weight – eat less, exercise more.
johnec over 6 years ago
Eat enough donuts for long enough and you will eventually loose ALL of the weight, and become weightless!
Or did they actually prove that the soul has mass?!
