Talking Just saw the funniest thing, healthy donut at Krispy Kreme!

Had to pickup donuts for work, and noticed they now have a "whole wheat" donut


Give me a break, why even bother!!!! What's next, soy donut?

What a marketing ploy! I hope people do not fall for this stupid tactic (but we all know some will) .

Re: Just saw the funniest thing, healthy donut at Krispy Kreme!

They were talking about this on the news today. Supposedly the whole wheat drops the carbs by 3g and the calories by 30-40.

Still not healthy by any means.

That's really not much. Maybe they should start a new slogan: Eat 7 donuts for the penalty of 6!

Re: Just saw the funniest thing, healthy donut at Krispy Kreme!

oh yes, this thing is kind of hard to believe. the problem with claims like this is it connotes that since its is healthy , then one can eat as much as he or she wants without feeling guilty. It contradicts basic dieting principle which says that everything should be eaten in moderation

Yep, people tend to focus on a single ingredient or constituent. Remember the fuss over how wonderful beta-carotene is? Well, it's "healthy" when ingested with other chemicals, but may behave as a pro-oxidant when ingested alone!
