When I placed my order at Panera's, I Discovered I was entitled to a free cookie. I surveyed the display case carefully: Chocolate chip, M and M, Frosted hearts, all of them huge and Loaded with sugar. I finally chose the pink and white heart since Valentine's Day is approaching. But I knew I wouldn't eat the cookie since It wasn't on my diet plan, so I searched for Someone in the busy restaurant who would. I finally settled on a tall, slim, smartly Dressed young man. "Would you like a lift today?" I asked him. "Sure!" he answered. I pulled the cookie from my bag and offered it To him. He was delighted. "Thank you, thank you," he said. I was delighted too, not just because it Feels good to make someone's day, but Because the 450 calories would be going Through his lips to his hips, and Not mine. |
