I was talking with my brother about (his) work last week. He mentioned the snack supplies in the office kitchen/breakroom area. The office manager would go and get a literal shopping cart full of candy and chips (M&M, Snickers, etc, Doritos, Lays, Cheetos, etc). I'm talking bags sliding off the cart full. She would go maybe once every 2-3 weeks for this stuff. Open a bag of Cheetos (which I would do) and it'd be gone in an hour or so. 15 people max in the office, usually like 10-12, so it wasn't like there were hundreds of people.
I told her that if anyone asks she should say that her kids love this stuff so she gets it for them. Or something like that. Watch them call Department of Family Services.
We also got maybe 15-ish cases of Coke products weekly.
I can't believe I used to work there and eat that stuff. Coke and junk food, all day.

we're going to try and move a couple of towns up into the park
the appalachian trail is a modest walk in the woods from here. as are all sorts of mountain bike trails. actually there's a TT that goes right by here.
not sure if we can pull it off, but what the heck might as well try

Those must be massive cookies!

Our pantry is pretty healthy as far as such things go. Lots of nuts and fruit.
The real problem is when we have outsiders in for meetings and cater lunch or breakfast. The extra cookies and pastries that the meeting participants NEVER eat get brought into the pantry. I am easily swayed by the siren song of cookies. Pastries less so, but they are a danger.
....I can make pretty quick work of cupcakes as well. If you break off the bottom half of the cupcake and squish it onto the top of the frosting... it's just like a big soft cookie.

Yeah, now I have to get used to something new. It's gotta be better on a phone than the full site, that was kind of a pain.

I gave up cookies for Lent. It's been a challenge.

Reading the local food blog I came across a "review" of the Taco Bell Sriracha Quesarito which led me to go look at nutrition facts. In my early 20's I was overweight and I used to eat Taco Bell at least 3x a week (the other days being Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr. etc.) and I just about **** myself when I saw the caloric intake I used to think was normal.
3 bean burritos 1110cal
Baja chalupa 350cal
30oz soda 410cal
that's 1870cal I used to consume on, like, a nightly basis. Forget that lunch was almost the same, and I would get blackout drunk half the time as well, jesus, how am I alive?
Moment of realization lol

If I had to buy them I wouldn't be in this situation. Not because I am cheap, or remotely smart with money, but because I'd have to make the conscious choice to buy them, rather than simply grab them off the counter.

I thought that was a national law... they do that here and California as well so I assumed everywhere. But we are talking 8-10 years ago before it was a thing, and I didn't really care anyway.

I used to eat two foot long Subway sandwiches and a quart or two of Gatorade. Or 7/8 of a large pepperoni pizza with a quart of Gatorade. 16 slices of toast with butter and jam for breakfast - that's about 1600 cal for the toast alone!
What's nutty is I was 112 lbs after a few years of my Subway/pizza diet (at school - when I was 21 I was 112 lbs, went into school 103 lbs). My 16 slices of toast was when I was 15 so probably 85-90 lbs. I wish I had that metabolism now.
