I'll take skim milk with that
Today AP released a news story about Krispy Kreme's new donut. Looks like they're developing a low-sugar donut, to lure dieters and diabetics.
This comes a couple days after Tommy Thompson called we Americans "too darn fat"--a sentiment with which I agree wholeheartedly--and the Department of Health and Human Services released a new report detailing the lightning-fast takeover obesity has had on the cause-of-death charts here in the U.S. I knew we were getting fatter than ever, but it's an entirely different to think about obesity chasing heart disease as the number-one cause of death.
If I can't control how many donuts I eat, at least I know that in a couple months I can eat them knowing that they're not as bad for me as they once were. I'm glad Krispy Kreme is looking out for me, to temper my ravenous gluttony. Instead of cutting out their donuts altogether, or cutting back to one a day, I can still eat two of them, and have it be just like I was eating one. And to help out with my new diet, I'll be using skim milk instead of cream in my coffee. Or at least Half and Half.
