    Because of the total lack of donut culture around here (we don't even have rings with filling) I'd say Vanilla donut.

    This is like asking someone to pick their favorite child. It cannot be done! I like all sorts of donuts. Those brick shaped ones with the maple flavored stuff on top and creme inside, for instance. Or blueberry cake donuts, which I imagine everyone must love. Or the classic chocolate covered one. You know what I <i>don't</i> like? Glazed. Not a fan of glazed donuts. Too sweet and sticky.

    Donuts are bad for you, like cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs... just say no! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

    Agreed. It would be easier to list the types of donuts I don't like.

    - Liquorice topped (ew)

    - Powdered (too messy)

    - Those glazed ones tycho mentioned (I know ALL donuts are bad for me, but i'd rather not eat something that tastes like a ball of sugar loosely held together by more sugar)

    - Anything with an apple filling (nothing wrong with apple, I just don't want it in my donut)

    - Anything with coconut or coffee

    - Ones filled with razorblades


    Other than those mentioned above... all of <a href="http://www.krispykreme.com/varieties.html" target="_blank">these</a> are good.

    [edit] Other than cinnamon

    Alcohol in moderation is good for you in many cases. And frankly eating a donut once ever three to four months (that's my intake level) isn't going to do jack squat to your overall health. The really unhealthy part of a donut is the sugar, and I brush and floss religiously. Unless you end up with a cavity from the donut, the net effect on your health is going to be almost nothing.

    For all practical purposes though we can assume those who reply here are more than likely inclined to over-indulge in donut consumption. Either that, or they abstain completely (like I do).

    As far as alcohol goes, sure a glass of red wine daily is good for the heart. But like donut consumption, when someone says it's bad for you they're not referring to an occasional drink, cigarette, or donut. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    There's no reason to cut yourself off from awesome stuff like alcohol and donuts unless you don't have enough willpower to stop yourself from completely overindulging and wrecking your health and happiness. Most things are fine in moderation. If when people say something is bad for you they mean it's bad if you go overboard, well, yeah. Don't go overboard. That's no reason to completely avoid something.

    What? Every time you go into a donut shop you must order a dozen then!

    What is the first donut do you look for whenever you go into a donut shop? Not too hard

    Boston Cream or a Bavarian cream for a desert donut.

    Aah, my friend, this is smart. That is a good way of putting it.

    Hmm... I'd have to say that a good old plain donut with chocolate on top would be my favorite. Or maybe it's tied with those plain donuts with sugar on them. I don't know what they're called. Those + jam filling are awesome. In fact those probably beat chocolate donuts. So I'd have to say those are my favorites. Go figure, I even forgot to include them in the first post I made.

    But I'll be happy with a plain glazed spudnut. (not quite a donut, but related)

    I'm just intelligent enough to choose what I put into my body, and refrain from eating empty calories or foods that have no nutritional value.


    It pays off in the long run. I just had my annual physical (which was very thorough btw) and I aced it.


    Ditch the greasy donuts and the fast food, and take care of your body - it's the only one you have, and it has to last a few decades.

    This is a false dichotomy. You can indulge sometimes and still be healthy. The key is moderation. Not all of us have to force ourselves to abstain 100% from anything remotely resembling junk food just to keep from getting fat and dying. With a proper diet and exercise, the net impact of a donut is going to be zilch.

    False, it's all cumulative and therefore relative. More importantly, the ingestion of such foods directly relates to the person's unhealthy frame of mind.

    You see, it's not that one donut won't hurt you. Rather, it's the attitude that caused one to eat it that reflects on their ignorance. If you'll eat a donut, more than likely you don't care about your health to begin with.
  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu Anememone Join Date: 2002-03-23 Member: 345Members
    Listen, buddy, the only thing in a donut that can hurt you is some fat and a crapton of sugar. Fat's not a problem if you watch your intake. Sugar's not a problem if you keep your teeth healthy (unless all your calories are sugar, but then you're not eating in moderation, are you?).

    I guess I can thank you for opening my eyes to the psyche-destroying powers of donuts, though. I didn't realise eating dessert one every three months was cultivating an unhealthy frame of mind. I guess all that willpower and self control that I have, that keeps me from becoming a fatty or from rotting my teeth away with sugary food and drink, actually counts for NOTHING because every once in a blue moon I eat a donut and so somehow my healthy body, which is healthy RIGHT NOW and as far as I know was going to STAY HEALTHY, is going to wither away and die because my attitude reflects on my ignorance. Apparently by eating a donut I suddenly don't care about my health. Go figure!

    My point exactly. Again, it's not about eating <u><b>ONE</b></u> donut, it's the state of mind that allowed you to eat it.

    Just... say... no to donuts. Ever notice all the fat cops that hang out in the donut shops? Lololol.

    I'll bet you $100 that you could eat three times as many donuts as I do and have exactly the same average heart rate. You seem to have some sort of irrational fear of donuts; you think that eating one is the same as being a fat policeman who hangs out at a donut shop. I don't think you understand how the human body works. You brag so much about being healthy and not eating anything at all bad, ever, but the only REASON you have for never touching a donut is some sort of vague hand waving about the "state of mind" that "allows" you to eat one. If you can clearly explain to me how this "state of mind" is going to turn my currently healthy body into a jiggling pile of fat like the people in WALL-E, I'll forever forego donuts, but right now it sounds like you have no idea how to stay healthy beyond "never eat anything bad." I'm not saying that won't work, but really you could just as easily eat a donut and you'd be fine. I know, I know, it's an unhealthy "state of mind" or something. I don't understand that and I don't care. Right now my unhealthy state of mind has led me to a body that's perfectly healthy, so I don't see what the problem is.

    Don't misconstrue common sense and wisdom with fear. As already pointed out if you choose to put food into your body that has no nutritional value (like donuts) then more than likely your mindset is going to allow you to eat other junk, and the effects will be cumulative.


    The reason you're "perfectly healthy" is your youth, and probably good genes. Rest assured, how you treat your body over the course of time will make a difference.


    And please, don't even think I have "no idea how to stay healthy" other than eating right - my knowledge of the human body and particularly exercise physiology go far beyond that. I've got seven marathon medals hanging on my wall and I earned every damn one of them.


    From what I recall, chocolate donuts PWN!
