    I agree and do the same thing all the time. It doesn't make sense to eat the whole thing if you don't want it. That is wasteful. It about portions and being healthy. Just because you could burn off the calories later, doesn't make the additional sugar and fat from the other half any better for your body.

    But someone commented that such people are being *kitten* or probably need to eat the entire donut and climb extra stairs to burn the calories.

    Your coworker is projecting their own guilt from seeing others clearly able to moderate their intake and enjoy it. They would probably not believe me if I told them I don't typically like donuts AT ALL! Unless it is one of three specific types, I'll pass by them without effort or regret.

    Also, I have worked with people who care about the "touching of food" thing but still prefer donut halves. What they do is use little napkins to hold the side of the donut while the knife cuts it (careful not to squish the topping, of course). They helpfully leave the napkin still kind of wrapped around the half so other similarly squeamish folk know that half is safe. :)

    Or, I don't want to eat food someone I don't know has touched.

    Yeah yeah, cafeteria workers, chefs, blah blah.

    Still not gonna go for a cut in half donut!

    OP - you take half and I'll take half. You can even cut if you want.

    Edit because now I have donuts and bacon on the brain.
    what a time to be alive.

    I don't do this because some people are so anal about it. If I want half - I'll ask another person if they'd like to share half with me. Otherwise, I just won't touch it or will eat an entire donut.
    ^^^ I am with you on that. If I see half a donut sitting in the donut box in the break room, I have no idea who touched it; did they wash their hands? Did they sneeze while cutting it? No thank you!
    If I want a donut, I'll eat a donut and I, like others before me, will work out a little harder or cut down on a meal to make up for it. In this day and age of germs, diseases and general weirdness going on, it's just not acceptable anymore (IMHO). :flowerforyou:

    and this is why it's great that I don't work in an office building setting with co-workers brining in goodies!.... If I were faced with donuts at work all the time, I'm pretty sure that you'd find me under my desk eating the whole box! Whether or not I cut them in half first, well, that would be irrelevant.

    That's disgusting >:(... The knowledge of this muffin-stump abandoner is a burden on my soul. Find them and destroy them.

    That looks beyond disgusting.

    But probably doesn't taste half bad.

    I do it all the time, though I've seen some people cut a jelly donut in half....was a sad mess

    I would do that, see two jelly donuts, cut each in half, so the jelly pocket was on one side, just the donut dough on the other.

    I'd then take both jelly pockets. It sparked off a helluva shouting spate the first time someone discovered it, so I took some pictures of me with the jelly pocket sides, and fired off an all staff email.

    It was amusing.

    I will confess to being one of those people who does not like donuts or whatnot being cut up and left (unless you are sharing). In my office those generally get left and thrown out later in the day.

    I will bring in treats for occasions (cookies, muffins, whatnot) and you take a whole because if you leave a half I will throw it out...I am a pretty good baker (until our building got locked down I had former co-workers who would still come over for treats) so normally people don't try that.

    I apologize for my spelling. Half consumed food gives me the vapors.
