It’s a single meal, relax

This is the attitude for every meal. Coming off of the huge Thanksgiving meal. Rolling into the holiday season. It’s no surprise Americans are so overweight. It’s never “just this once”. OP even says donuts are offered all the time. It’s not a treat at that point.

Welp, since you decided that this imaginary scenario happened, then yes…”Americans overweight”.

Well, it’s actually a fact. Not an imaginary scenario. In the future, people with means won’t be fat gorging on donuts.

I wouldn't mind shoving a dozen donuts up your a$$

You wouldn’t be so angry if you ate better food.

I'm nowhere near an almond mom, but am pretty sure I would puke if I ate three donuts.

I wouldn't eat three donuts but I'd buy them as a host. We rarely eat donuts, love them, so I'd be thrilled with this. I'd have some fruit and other things too.

Our church, which is in an UMC suburb, does donuts and coffee like every other Mass. They cut perhaps half of the donuts in half and I notice those are what most people grab (including us). Eating a gigantic donut is just not worth it to most adults in 2025. Less is more.

A) Thank you for responding f-ing immediately 😂 B) It’s one meal. Only someone with an eating disorder would freak out about donuts being served once

I decided donuts and coffee since that’s what they serve at my kids schools for years for grab and go breakfasts. It seems to be a common option. I’ve seen bagels less often for whatever reason, they just aren’t served? Maybe due to cream cheese options needed and knives to cut bagels?

With scrambled eggs, it would seem there would need to be a meat and then some people don’t like sausage, others don’t like bacon, some don’t like crispy bacon, etc… I also considered porridge but Oatmeal vs. Grits vs. Cream of Wheat, is more of a sit down meal and my children don’t all like the same one so I figure their children may be the same and that’s far too much time spent cooking multiple options ahead of a somewhat long drive. Especially if we are running behind which they tend to be.

There is lunch being served at the relatives home everyone is headed to.

Donuts given to kids at school. Do they call it nutrition or diabetes services?

Donuts for the parents. They set up a table at the entrance for parents. It’s always crowded fwiw.

For parents to have a glucose spike, get hyper, donate thousands, and then fall super tired.

It’s never once. Read the responses. I mean, how many donuts do you eat that this is a big deal to you that you need 3 more on a morning like this?

My car would discreetly be stopping for a breakfast sandwich on the way.

I would really try to at least have some fruit and yogurt available. I don’t understand the thinking of being unable to cook eggs without meat so I am guessing you just don’t want to even cook eggs which is ok but otherwise I think eggs are fast and easy (and cheap) to serve along with donuts and fruit.

Great, feed yourself. Don’t complain. And no, eggs are not “fast and easy.” Some people want scrambled, others want poached, etc.

Just out of curiosity, why not offer bananas and/or yogurt as well? So easy, and will make any health-conscious guests happier.

Not everyone likes bananas or yogurt, either. I hate both. OP should probably have four different kinds of fruit, as well as cereal.

I'd get 2 dozen.

I rarely eat sugary breakfasts, but I’m still not understanding the absolute freak-out about OP having donuts for her guests on a single morning?

Because a lot of people don’t want that and OP is not going to bother offer anything else. It’s hardly a freak out and more of a head scratcher. Do you typically offer guests 1 option only?

Cake donuts, I hope. Not those mooshy raised ones.
