HONEY BUNS - THE NEW CIGARETTES?

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IMPROVES COGNITIVE FUNCTION

Well, neither are any good for you, but check out this interesting story in the St. Petersburg Times about the status of Honey Buns among the prison population.

Here is an excerpt:

“Inmates in the Florida prison system buy 270,000 honey buns a month. Across the state, they sell more than tobacco, envelopes and cans of Coke. And they’re just as popular among Tampa Bay’s county jails. In Pasco’s Land O’Lakes Detention Center, they’re outsold only by freeze-dried coffee and ramen noodles.

Not only that, these honey buns — so puffy! — have taken on lives of their own among the criminal class: as currency for trades, as bribes for favors, as relievers for stress and substitutes for addiction. They’ve become birthday cakes, hooch wines, last meals — even ingredients in a massive tax fraud.”
