I have never found a healthy donut and don't believe one or two a year will kill one. Eggs aren't real healthy either.
I have found some pretty healthy pizzas and hamburgers. It depends on what one orders on them. A small burger with 4oz's of lean meat cooked down to 3oz's with pickle, onion, tomato, lettuce and mustard is not too bad, but you must leave off the mayo.
There are some pretty healthy pizzas out there also. One must know and ask about the ingredients. One made with olive oil vs crisco, fresh tomatoes cooked down to make the sauce, a few veggies on top with a small amount of Canadian Bacon, light on the cheese, add a little parmesian (ms) and it is really not too bad for you. Maybe add a little fresh basil or oregano for extra taste....
Now we must also remember everything in moderation...no hamburger for lunch and pizza for dinner every day!
I do believe in healthy things. About 2 1/2 years ago I went on a low fat, low cholesteral diet. I made up the diet. Lost about 30 pounds the first 6 to 12 months and another 10 over the last 18 months and lowered my cholesteral about 300 pts. I eat healthy pizza a couple times a month, a small hamburger a couple of times a month (wish Cafe Bouchee would cook a small one) eat what I want but watch the fat. I still have a few coctails and eat almost everything I want, just in moderation.
What I have learned is "One has to care about themselves, for their loved ones and life" and one can do almost anything. And most of all don't tell yourself you can't have it.
BTW - I believe that the good Dr should have done what he did. And I would be for people that smoke pay higher insurance premiums, etc and those that have genetical or inherited health issue pay less.
Sorry for my disertation.
