There’s a lot of heavy stuff going on in the world right now. So, today I thought I’d keep it light…well…sort of…
As we all recover from the sugar rush that is National Donut Day, a donut breakfast entrée has just entered into the realm of absurdity that fast-food so often inhabits.
For those who have not yet been introduced, let me do the honors. I present to you the Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich courtesy of our friends at Dunkin’ Donuts: 
Take a moment, let that wash over you. You now live in a world where this breakfast creation is possible. Let the implications sink in.
Okay, now I have to say that the existence of this sandwich (which I’m sure is amazing in the flavor department) is not nearly as offensive to me as the fact that people are discussing its caloric value. If I’m going to have a glazed donut bacon sandwich I know it’s not healthy, the number of calories that includes immaterial at that point.
For instance the fact that it contains 30 fewer calories than the turkey sausage breakfast sandwich (a point that has been made many times at this point), does not make it a healthier option. It makes it a lower calorie option, but that’s about where its virtues end.
But perhaps it’s best to accept that we now exist in a space in time where someone (lots of someones) out there will always plead the case of the glazed donut breakfast sandwich. What can I say? God bless America, land of the free to eat what you want and home of the glazed donut bacon sandwich.
