What
do you expect from a place that serves only
doughnuts and corn-syrup–spiked drinks? The
problem with Krispy Kreme isn’t so much the fat
and the calories of its staples (though they
have plenty of both!), but rather the utter lack
of any real nutritional takeaway to be found
anywhere on its menu. There is but one bright
spot for doughnut devotees: Krispy Kreme finally
switched over to trans-fat-free frying oils in
January 2008. (Collective sigh of relief.)SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Unless they’re running a marathon, stick to a
single order of doughnut holes.
