According to today's Wall Street Journal, a health-food executive will be imprisoned for selling low-fat doughnuts that are too delicious. Suspicious customers have complained to the Food and Drug Administration, and sure enough, there are 18 grams of fat in each doughnut instead of the advertised 3 grams.
This news item is similar to a recent New York Times article about CremaLita, a chain that falsely claims to serve diet ice cream.
To my sugar-addled mind, the real criminal activity is the ongoing research into how desserts can be made less tasty. A fitting punishment would be a day-trip to the Doughnut Plant and Il Laboratorio Del Gelato.
