[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by how many people think as long as their kids are not overweight it means they're healthy and can eat any junk food their hearts desire. [/quote]

It’s a single meal, relax[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

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

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[/quote]

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?[/quote]

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?[/quote]

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?[/quote]

The OP makes it sound like they are all headed out to another family member’s house. So OP simply wanted something quick and easy with no cooking or clean up.

People freaking out over literally one morning are something else. Lots of people eat differently over the holidays and if the super high maintenance adults are such perfect clean eaters, they’ll survive until lunch if they pass on the donuts. [/quote]

Nobody is freaking out, Donut Dork. They just don’t think everyone is going to eat 3 and some might prefer another option.[/quote]

No one has predicted that everyone is going to eat 3.  People have predicted that the teen boys will eat 3, and that two dozen is a safe number to order.

People have also suggested another option for people who want protein either instead, or with the donuts.  It can be simple.  Hard boiled eggs, trading half the donuts for bagels and offer cream cheese, put some pots of skyr or Greek yogurt out, offer whole wheat toast with peanut butter, get some high protein granola bars, or packs of nuts for the car.

This is assuming people are staying in your house.  If they're gathering at your house to drive, then I'd tell them what you're serving, and let people who don't want donuts, or don't want only donuts, eat before they come.  [/quote]
