    I believe in taking responsibility. People need to take responsibility for what they eat. And people who bake delicious, irresistible food need to take responsibility for their actions as well. I live in a small town. There was a woman here who baked award winning pies. We bought her a bus ticket out of town, and everyone lost like a hundred pounds. RESPONSIBILITY!!!

    LOL!

    Don't look at me. I am a drug dealer and a gigolo. In my spare time I am working on the manufacture of handguns with grips to fit 5 year olds.

    I'm appalled that someone would resort to such a career choice as to fatten up the public. It's a disgrace. They could enter a much more honorable career field like I have.

    This is really, really funny. Totally worth the first post just to get to this one.
    Yessssss

    Wow ... way to be a downer ... I'm a fitness professional (and I went to culinary school) and I am actually contemplating opening a patisserie/gourmet soup and sandwich place (emphasis on local ingredients, high quality, preferably organic ... healthy options available, stuff for gluten free, vegan, etc.) with my sister-in-law ... I love food and I love to workout (Sprinting and running is my passion ... I'm a Pilates and yoga junkie too), it all balances out ...

    ETA: Yes, there will be cupcakes, with LOTS of frosting (butter, cream, SUGAR! .. Cream Cheese ...) YUM!

    and for this you shall burn in hell....

    I don't want to live in a world without pastries...
    And part of my weight-loss plan is to occasionally really savour something truly delicious, like a gourmet pastry, instead of just eating chocolate etc all the time. So :p to you and your high horse!

    Oh how I wish I knew a Pastry Chef! My life would be complete.

    This thread is immoral. Now I HAVE to leave so I can buy some pastries! Look what you forced me to do.

    She's doing what she loves, nothing wrong with that. And you don't have to eat it.

    How I eat my pastries:

    6C7537999-tdy-130523-cronutblocks_desktop_medium_zps47326bc0.jpg

    Step 1: eat 550 calorie Cronut
    Step 2: run 8-10 miles and burn 800 calories
    Step 3: still lose weight

    Pastry chefs don't make people gain weight. People not being accountable to themselves makes them gain weight.

    Goodness gracious, this is so ridiculous. How is being a pastry chef immoral or unethical? Get a grip. You know what is one cause of obesity? Eating TOO much of sugar. It's alright in moderation and our body is used to eating sugars. Do you eat fruit? If you do, then you take in sugar.
    Also, other countries such as those that are in Europe and pastries are a big thing, they have LESS of an obesity problem than we do. Actually they are much healthier. Why? Because they live on a mediterraen diet and then have sugar in moderation.

    Moderation is the issue. Not pastries. Goodness, you are not a very good friend.

    You may have a point there.

    I can't believe you are serious. People get fat because they eat too much food and don't get enough exercise. Don't try to place the blame on somebody else.

    Are you being serious?

    People CHOOSE what they eat, and if they choose to eat unhealthily, that's their prerogative. If parents of children are not educating their children and adults aren't educating themselves, that's on them.

    It's about moderation. I enjoy a good pastry now and I've lost almost 40 pounds!

    Wow...So I get back from the gym...You know my weights class and spinning and bettering myself...And still more ridicule and jokes. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with honey and an apple. I supposed I should have swapped my healthy option for a sugar filled donut according to these responses

    Can you just try to understand my side? Some "support" site. Maybe I should i have posted this in motivation and support or something. Again I'm not talking to those that were serious.

    No one gets fat eating gourmet pastries. Except maybe rich people. And they can fend for themselves. I made me fat. I don't think chefs of any kind are unethical
