355.0. "Donuts" by KIRKWD::FRIEDMAN () Fri Sep 16 1988 17:51

    It seems that at Digital it is popular to serve donuts at morning
    meetings.  Could someone say what the ingredients and calorie
    count of a typical glazed, raised donut are?  What makes them
    taste sort of sticky-wet--is it moisture or grease?

    A 1.75 oz (avg) glazed raised doughnut weighs in at around 220
    calories.  The sticky-wet comes from the sugar glaze, which has
    a consistency that never dries completely.

    	And, I'd guess fat is responsible for about 50% of the calories
    and sugars for about 25%.

    I have given up eating donuts for the last 4 years because I read
    an article in the _Readers Digest_ way back then about how a donut
    stays in you system for 3-4 weeks.  That was enough for me to give
    them up!
    
    
    

355.4I just H A T E donuts!!!!AVANT::BERTOTTue Nov 01 1988 16:088
    I hate the smell of donuts and the after taste and the big lump
    in your stomach.  I had the *pleasure* of having *free* donuts 
    until the facility cafeteria opened.  (this was a new building)
    Well after 1 week of freebies I became a donut hater!!  Just the
    smell turns me off. YUCK!!!!!  Pass them up they are so GROSS.
    Sorry I sound like a nut, I am.

    Patti, I am so glad I was not the only one that got hurt by the
    insensativity of .5, it must be great to sit in judgement on what
    other people eat, it only reconfirms the feelings  that overweight
    people have towards themselves. LOW SELF ESTEEM.   Thanks to calus
    remarks such as Karens, we can continue to feel like we are not
    worth much.

    Sorry Karen, I got the names mixed up.  The person with the not
    so nice attitude toward grossly obese people is Patti, not Karen.
