Coffee and a donut

By Doug on January 18th, 2010

I was walking down Sunset yesterday and overheard two ladies say to two homeless men, “Would you like a free coffee and a donut?” I’m all about charity and whatnot but seriously, a donut? Just think about that for a second. I’m no scientist, or a Scientologist for that matter, but I’m pretty sure I know that donuts consist primarily of sugar (with maybe a little air). And based on the footage I’ve seen, homeless people usually don’t have the adequate means to clean their teeth.

Not to mention that it’s fucking sugar. I’m going to double check with my nutritionist, but I’m pretty sugar giving practically pure sugar to a starving person isn’t the greatest idea in the world. The two women might as well have asked the men if they’d like a kick to the nuts.
