Donuts

I've been trying hard to lose weight and to eat more whole foods. Going through cancer makes a person very aware of what it is we put into our food sources in this country and I do believe in organic as much as possible. However, I am weak-willed to be sure.

Last week a pop-up "Whole Foods" store opened in Wainscott. I was happily anticipating the availability of so much organic produce, and the day they opened I stopped to check it out. I happily perused the aisles , picking up fresh fruit and some dinner pre-mades like chicken pot pie and quiche. My biggest issue with the store was the parking area - and getting back out on to Montauk Highway, I was feeling pretty  self-righteous and was looking forward to having a nice healthy lunch when I got home.

Then I remembered I needed paper goods, like paper towels and toilet paper, and decided to stop at my usual haunt, the IGA. I grabbed the things I needed, including some flour and sugar, and then when I got close to the check-out counter, feeling hunger pangs as the clock inched toward noon, I grabbed a box of Entenmann's donuts. Oy vey.

All that wonderful organic, fresh food in my car and I come out with a box of donuts. What's wrong with me anyway? Not only are they full of sugar, but they are over-processed and full of chemicals, etc. Pathetic.

I ended up giving most of the box away....
