   You know, when it comes to a $3 #pastry versus a 70¢ #doughnut, I'm no connoisseur; I'll just get the cheaper of the two, since they're both basically fat, sugar, and grain.

      @takeshitakenji I would prefer the #doughnut over the #pastry anyway, because I'm American, therefore I am fat.

         @remembernovember In reality, pastries usually aren't that much healthier that doughnuts. They're just not as meticulously made for 'perfect texture', which I don't care about anyway.

            @takeshitakenji Who cares about texture, anyway?

               @remembernovember Or 'flavor notes' that are present in pastries. I mean, they seem 'fancier,' but I wouldn't want to spend four or more times as much on just those traits.

         @remembernovember For example, a croissant is packed full of butter (fat) and folded, while a cake doughnut is dropped in oil (fat) and flipped.
