I just got back from a sort of conference/meeting where all the employees sat on uncomfortable chairs while the president of the company talked for an hour. The only thing to keep me awake were the cookies. Oh the gourmet cookies.
While the best choice might have been to abstain, we have to enjoy a few things now and then, right? It's all about choices. In front of me were 6 different kinds of cookies and brownies. The wisest choice is probably the oatmeal raisin cookies. You've got good-for-your-cholesterol oatmeal, antioxidant-rich raisins and protein-powered nuts. Yes you've got sugar and butter too, but we're trying to choose the lesser of the evils here. If you hate oatmeal cookies, then the next best choice would be whatever has nuts in them. They are a well-rounded source of nutrients in an otherwise nutrient-deficient snack food.
Bottom line is, if you can't say no, at least try to choose the most nutritious option.
