Dough-nutty

Dunkin’ Donuts is adding health food to its menu. Isn’t that great? No it is not.

People slink off to a DD for a deliciously guilty shot of sugar and caffeine.

If we wanted healthy stuff, well, darn it, we’d go to a place called something like Cardboard and Seawater. (Hey, didn’t one of those open in that trendy new neighborhood last week?)

If you can’t rely on a DD for sneaky gourmet pleasure, where can you take your cravings? You can bet that health food stores won’t be adding a junk food aisle.

DD is, however, adding “two new flatbread sandwiches made with egg whites. Customers will be able to choose either a turkey sausage egg-white sandwich or a vegetable one. Both will be under 300 calories with 9 grams of fat or less,” according to the Associated Press.

Tsk-tsk. I’d go to a Starbucks to drown my sorrows, but 600 of them are closing worldwide.
