Poll of the Day > Krispy Kreme offers free donuts for the rest of the year if you get vaccinated

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, yeah...what a great way to motivate America into getting vaccinated while also contributing to the
obesity epidemic, lol. Look, im all for Covid being done with, but I also find it funny at the same time.
A good way to promote diabetes

Giving out 190 calories for free once daily isnt going to contribute to the obesity epidemic. If someone replaced their current healthy breakfast with a donuts and a coffee theyd likely lose weight.

No Krispy Kreme near me, and I still haven't received my first shot being an essential worker.

Conversely if they're adding a donut 5 days a week to what they're already eating, that's 14 lbs a year

I honestly didn't know Krispy Kreme still existed as a store, I thought it was just a brand nowadays. The stores near me closed down years ago and the only time I see them is when I am in Walmart.

BOO, it's just a few stores not a nationwide thing

If that's added on top of eating 2000 calories per day without making any other adjustments, that'd be a 10% increase in caloric intake, which is definitely enough to result in some weight gain. Granted, I don't think anyone is going to be that dedicated about it without also adjusting their diet a bit (whether deliberately or because the extra donut fills them up enough to eat less in the closest meal), but it's still hypothetically possible.

Of course, what's actually likely to happen is that people coming in for their free donut get upsold on other products, and the health implications of that can be much more significant (but also much harder to predict).

Dont forget though. Merica does run on diabetes. Where else can you get fucked with overpriced healthcare as well? I know this isnt related but I dont know what Im more affirad of. My mental health declining or the amount of medicail debt I cant even pay that my mental health contributed to that very system that will still perpetuate towards me feeling depressed. Its a fucking joke without any progressiveness from my experience towards feeling better.

All the Krispy Kreme stores in our area closed. You can get them at grocery stores and gas stations but if a KK donut isn't hot and fresh it isn't worth eating

I assume with the vaccination card you get upon getting the vaccine.
