The other night Jules, my kids, and I watched a YouTuber bake a dessert. What started as a cookie became a chocolate-crusted-Oreo-cheesecake-whipped-cream-topped sprinkled pie. Layer upon layer, we laughed hysterically as the chef added each new stand-alone dessert to her culinary creation.
More and more the limits get pushed on what’s OK. It takes more and more sugar, salt, and fat to sensationalize and tantalize the taste buds. When is enough enough? Who will blow the whistle on what’s too much?
Producers don’t care what it does to your body. It doesn’t affect them. They take no responsibility for what happens to you or your health so who will?
The answer is you. And me. Each person must decide for himself or herself.
Is it criminal to eat a dessert like the one described above? Of course not. Just know what you’re eating, how much is good for you, and do it intentionally, eyes wide open. If a dessert like this was served at a party, I probably would do one of three things: eat a bite, eat a thin piece, or split a piece with my wife paying attention to the sweetness, how it made me feel and adjust accordingly. 
How do you feel about desserts? When was the last time you had a dessert that you truly enjoyed —while you were eating it and 20 minutes later (no regrets)?
