For the love of logic

So, I'm standing in Duane Reade debating between the oatmeal raisin cookies and the iced oatmeal cookies, and it's a dilemma because I know it would be good for me to have raisins in my diet, but then, icing is delicious.

Enter the nutrition label analysis. It turns out that the iced cookies have ten more calories per cookie than their raisin-infested neighbors, as well as an additional half gram of saturated fat.

It would seem that the oatmeal raisin cookies were the clear winners, but then I noticed that--don't ask me how--each iced oatmeal cookie contains a gram of fiber, while an oatmeal raisin cookie has none.

Fiber is so important! Almost important as sweet, sweet icing.

Decision: made.
