Love the irony - if this post was for real it would be funny

I thought this forum was for intelligent people wanting to make evidence based money saving purchases sorry for being so ignorant. It's clearly for people who fed up with moneysaving want to take the quick route to ill health and an early death. Sorry to get in your way.

Have a happy but short life. It's called natural selection and clearly some are determined to be selected out.

SMOKING CAUSES MALE SEXUAL IMPOTENCE

Then I shall drink stupid amounts of alcohol and dance my little feet off.

Long-term alcohol abuse is a major cause of male impotence.

If I take 5 years off my life because of this then so what? I'd rather die at 95 having had a great time than die at 100 feeling I'd missed something

But for the last 40 yrs you'll not be able to get it up while I will still be at it.

It's called having the last laugh.

The guy I spoke to today said they didn't have any outlets in New York. They supply trans fat free KK's in other countries without problems so arenot expecting problems with the change over here. They will still not be healthy eating but taking out the transfat will reduce the damage by 50%.

The problem is simply the shelf life. Trans fat makes it easier for them to pre bake them store them and reheat before serving. It's cheaper and easier to use transfat as that (despite it's damaging effects on the brain Altzheimer's and Fertility) allows them to make the product months ahead of need and then serve it up as freshly made.

Of course they can make them just as easily without trans fats. It just makes more profit to do it the lazy way and sod the consequences on their clients who are too stupid to care.

So you don't care about remaining fertile or getting Alzheimer's?

But seriously, if you want to discuss the ins and outs of trans fats and my health from eating the occasional doughtnut, then start a thread in DT.

Otherwise, lets leave this argument here as it is a KK thread, not a health thread.

Cheers.

If you intend to eat them, try and visit a proper Krispy Kreme store (the nearest to me is Rayne's Park). While you queue they will likely give you a free glazed donut, when you get to order try and get the Double Dozen Deal (if you can say it). Don't take the pre-made boxes, they've been out a while - choose your own and they'll be fresher (insist they take from the back not the front). It's about £16.95 I think and you're supposed to get a dozen you choose yourself and a dozen regular glazed BUT if you get a new person on the till they may give you two proper mixed dozens by mistake.

Take them into work - everyone will thank you for it. Don't try these tricks at the Waterloo station concourse (by platform 3): they're too long in the tooth to fall for it and the selection is too small.

In any thread where people are considering making decisions about whether or not to purchase a particular item it is perfectly reasonable to point out the disadvantages of that particular purchase. In this case the disadvantages are permanent damage to the brain and body health. You may be happy to play Russian Roulette with your health, others may not be so cavalier with their future health. But the important thing is people should be aware of the potential dangers and this is a perfectly appropriate place to offer that information.

Whether or not you think it is ethically appropriate to offer high trans fat treats to people who may be wanting to concieve is for you to judge, I'm sure you don't mind setting someone on the path to cancer, multiple scelerosis, diverticulisis and obesity, this presumably is something you will regard as a good laugh. I expect some would also consider it fine to press alcohol on someone with a drink driving history or fags on someone who is trying to give up.

You think I should get a life.

Well if that's the best you can do with yours your welcome to it.

The Krispy Kremes in Tesco shops (most central London Tesco Metros have a KK stand) are cooked every morning and delivered straight away. They're not quite as fresh as the Harrods/Selfridge's ones but are still super duper.

My favourite is the raspberry filled one. Mmmm.

I had a coffee from the Watford Krispy Kreme Café (attached to Tesco Extra) which was vile. the donut was amazing though.
