Rather than berating people for not considering the cost, put it into a perspective you can see.
Sure, eating 10,000 calories in one meal is not something your waistline can afford, and you recognize that, but that's about what that one donut a week is equivalent to over the year. It's really easy to say "Okay" to something you really really want when it's a small periodic cost, and even if at some level you know it adds up, you still can make that mistake really easily, and get irritated at the person who keeps bringing them to the Friday meeting (or whatever). So some irritation at the system allowing this behavior might be reasonable.
- mikeash 12y agoAbsolutely. And when an article talks about how eating one donut a week is the "only option" for many people to reach 10,000 excess calories per year, and never even mentions the possibility of not eating 10,000 excess calories per year, there's something seriously wrong with the writing.
