If you want a good doughnut, patronize the Donut Shop in Muscle Shoals. Theirs are much, much better than you'll get at Krispy Kreme, which is the Wal-Mart of bakeries.

You have the uncanny knack of sucking all the fun out of a forum just by entering it.
So, go eat a tofu burger with sprouts and a carrot stick Little Dark Cloud, and leave the rest of us adults alone to make our own decisions regarding what we eat and how much. I'm sure you'll find this a terrible shock to your uptight and orderly little system, but every now and then, in the evenings when I'm home alone and nobody's looking....<gasp> I eat my dessert FIRST!

I also have the uncanny knack of being in excellent health in my 7th decade, owing in no small measure to avoidance of junk food such as Krispy Kreme donuts. I also have the JOY of NOT having the ateriosclerotic arteries and the JOY of not having the big, bulging, unsightly belly characteristic of those who gobble up such junk as Krispy Kreme donuts! JOY is not in the instant gratification of sugar-and-fat-loaded butt-expanding food like Krispy Kreme puts out! JOY is NOT having to treat diabetes or heart failure or worry about obesity or having to walk with the aid of a walker or rely on one of those "Scooters" or other personal mobility devices that are getting so commonplace, often as the result of a dissolute attitude toward nutrition. I'll take that joy over the fleeting flush of excitement I see in the donut-gobbling crowd!

All the clean living has also made you so tolerant of others...LOL At least when you die they will be able to say, "My goodnes, doesn't BeternU look so good laying there in that casket"...C'mon lighten up, a little doughnut every now and then is not going to hurt you.

That should have been, "lying there in that casket." "Laying" means "being placed." "Lying" connotes a state of having already been placed. Work on those things.
True, one little doughnut every now and then does not hurt one. But the patrons of Krispy Kreme are not satisfied with that level of intake. Many, if not most, of them are HOOKED on the fatty, sugary toxic product sold there!

Strictly YOUR opinion falcon - about KK and Wal-Mart. I won't eat any donuts besides Krispie Kremes - chocolate iced being my absolute favorite. They are always light and fluffy - just like biting into a sweet, chocolate-covered cloud. In comparison, all other donuts I've tried are heavy and tough. I remember when they opened the first Krispie Kreme stores here in SoCal in 2000. People were standing in line around the block to get in. It looked like opening night at the movies or something. The HOT neon sign was always lit because they couldn't keep up with demand if they didn't make donuts 24/7.

I totally agree TDB. The chocolate iced ones are my favorite as well. Give me a box of them and a tall glass of milk and look out!!

You are gonna die of something. At your age, it will be sooner rather than later. You'll still be just as dead, and we won't be.

Top Down Beemer sez:
[QUOTE] You sure do manage to form a lot of uninformed conclusions about your fellow men and women. I love Krispy Kreme donuts but never eat more than two when I go there which is about once every 2-3 months. I also get the 2% milk to go along with them. I would get fat free milk but they don't offer it. I'm sitting at my desk right now eating my lunch which consists of lean turkey breast, celery sticks with low fat ranch dip and 2 cups of lettuce. I'm drinking water. After I finish my lunch, I'll go for a 30 minute walk around our facility here and that is about 1.5 miles. For dinner tonight I'll have a grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast, a serving of steamed veggies and another salad. What about my menu choices would lead you to believe that I live an unhealthy, sugar or fat filled lifestyle? You merely ASSUMED that because I enjoy a Krispy Kreme donut that I MUST be a fat, lazy, slovenly, unhealthy, unsightly person. In this case, the old adage about assuming only makes an A-S-S out of you...not me.[QUOTE]
I made no assumptions about ALL patrons of Krispy Kreme, but there ARE plenty of fat and sugar-addicted doughnut gobblers who DO have all or some of the adverse health effects I described. Good for YOU if you can exercise the kind of restraint you describe, but you are likely a significant exception to the usual crowd of Krisp Kreme devotees. Just park near there and watch the lard arses come and go if you doubt what I am saying. ace1965, above, is probably more typical, having posted above the following tribute to his/her dissolute eating habits: "totally agree TDB.
