Homer and I share the same affliction for these unhealthy things. I love 'em.

Are you allowed to eat doughnuts in Cali? If so it must be an oversight.

I’ve been there. My late wife was from Monterey. She grew up in a house on a dead-end street off of Cass Street.

My favorite Donut shop is Duck Donuts, originally started in Duck, North Carolina on the Outer Banks...

LOL. And in the ‘70s there would be near universal-derision for people who looked like the second photo. Now they’re celebrated.

We will stand in line for Round Rock Donuts in Round Rock, Texas
As you would expect, they’re Texas BIG!
I once brought a dozen home on the plane.

Doughnuts will increase your waistline substantially. When i needed to put on weight after surgery etc. They advised me to eat dounghnuts and milkshakes - a lot! It worked!

Wow, the kids in the 1970s picture were born in those awful, restrictive 1950s! They look like the victims of horrific mistreatment!

Only in their own minds and the media. Fat is fat, obese is obese, neither is particularly attractive in any sense.

A friend of mine actually gained weight while on chemotherapy by drinking lots of milkshakes. Don’t know if doughnuts were part of that diet as well.

New Year’s resolution from 2019 - no more doughnuts. Holding and still fine with it. Satan’s croutons....
