Enormous brownies

Was talking to Jane in the cafeteria the other day about the outlandishly sized brownies they have. They're as big as 5 or 6 normal brownies. Even I know they're too big. And Jane tells me how one woman routinely buys two, one for snack, one for the evening when she has a class. That's a pretty scary thought. That's much brownie.

And look at the women in the office across the hall from ours. They have at least one cake or cookies or brownies or something every day. Somebody brings it in for sake of camaraderie, some cheap grocery store baked good. That's pretty scary. They eat the stuff every day.

This bespeaks one of two things: either the abject failure of public health education or total fatalism.

And that's coming from me, scarcely a poster child for good diet.
