P-C, you may have my lifetime allotment of Twinkies. (I never got the Twinkie love. Ho-Hos, on the other hand....)
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
It means fewer Twinkies for everyone else.
Thank God! Because Twinkies really, truly, ming. They're one of those terrifying foods that clearly contain no actual food at all, and will still be here along with the cockroaches when everything else on the planet is dust.
...sorry, tangent. But I agree with Tep about the fact that setting up the whole moral paradigm of virtue/sin pertaining to cookies etc is spectacularly unhelpful.

Yet again, Fay and I are one. Which means I am HOTT.

I want some Sinful Cookies right now.
But I should have beer and pizza first.

The filling in Twinkies is peculiarly unfoodlike.

I had pizza for dinner -- it was sauceless, but with mozzarella cheese (or whatever blend is on pizzas), chopped tomatoes, kalamata olives, mushrooms (ick), feta cheese, and enough cloves of roasted garlic to kill a warehouse full of vampires.
It was SO good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Because Twinkies really, truly, ming.
Is that a verb?

Our wings are not tired.
I've never had a twinkie, and I am really not tempted. That pizza sounds heavenly. Mmmmm garlic.

Mmmmm garlic.
Oh god. There was probably 2 full heads of garlic on it. SO good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, I fail to see how "unhealthy" behaviors that impact only the individual engaging in them affect society.
Actually, people that get sick do have an impact on society beyond what their health insurance covers. And parents that smoke at home affect their own children. And parents that die of strokes, wind up having children surviving on Social Security benefits. And so on. Consider the effect that Suzi's longtime sick coworker has had on her life, and that company. It's not like Suzi blames her or is resentful, but you can't say it's happening in a vacuum.
So I'm saying the sick people who have no impact on society are a tiny portion of wealthy, well insured people who can afford private nurses.
