If the taste hasn’t changed then no, absolutely not.

And I feel that way about any other food, too - if you can make it healthier and not skimp on taste, I’m all for it. I might even pay a small premium (SMALL PREMIUM) for a healthier, still-as-tasty-as-before snack.

Got a box Sunday morning and we noticed a different taste. We even commented that they were drier and didn’t taste as fresh. We surmised that they must have dropped the trans fat because they just were not the same. Same goes for Dunkin Doughnuts. They stink now that trans fat is gone.

It’s not a problem for us who “TREAT” ourselves a couple of times of year. It’s the people who eat 2-3 a day 4-5 times a week. That’s the problem. White flour, sugar, deep fried. ought to have a skull and cross bones on the box.

Dunkin Doughnuts stank before they dropped the trans fat.

The bottom line: An original glazed doughnut still contains 200 calories and 12 grams of total fat. It now has 6 grams of bad fats (all saturated) rather than the 7 grams of saturated and trans fats that it had before.

Its all marketing hype. There is no way that KK can be considered part of a healthy diet.

Sugar is the real culprit in our diets. Look at products with high fructose corn syrup. It’s in EVERYTHING, and it’s terrible for you. It’s digested differently then glucose (sugar).

Donuts should be eating sparingly. Removing trans fats is good but the that’s like taking one poison out of a product that has 3 other poisons in it…it’s still going to hurt you.

The no trans fat will not change my mind — I will not eat them period. six grams of saturated fat in one donut — this is more saturated fat than I eat in an average day.

There ought to be a tax on these donuts to help pay for the bypass operations and angioplasty that Medicare will have to cover, not to mention long term care for disabled stroke victims.

My father-in-law had a triple bypass operation ten years ago. Just recently, he found out one of the new bypassed arteries is blocked. Of course, he was eating potato chips on the couch after this. Our tax money at work. Should I mention he’s a big Republican and Clinton-hater. That’s the party of personal responsibility isn’t it?

I’m with dougmo, stop mesing with the food, if you don’t like how unhealthy it is, don’t eat it. I think it was completely wrong and a violation of civil rights that NY banned using trans fat in the food. Who is the govt. to decide if what we eat is healthy or not. If they want to ban everything ‘unhealthy’ shut down every fast food place except Subway, make cigarettes and beer and alcohol illegal…the list could go on and on. It’s a bunch of B.S., and i think someone should challenge that law and sue the state.

It’s unconstitutional for the government to ban what we want to eat!!

By J

Tray, the government has to control everything we do. If they didn’t regulate what we eat, smoke and drink then we’d all die early and they couldn’t make a profit off our paycheck every week. God knows, they have to keep us all living until 65 so they can rob us all blind.

Ridiculous. If someone is health conscious and doesn’t want to eat KKs them let ‘em eat something without trans fat. Don’t be messin’ with my KKs or my Oreos. If you don’t like it, eat something else. But then, I’m not a frequent consumer of these types of foods so my opinion shouldn’t count. And yes, if they taste the same I’ll still have my one or two a year.

Oh, has DD changed their formula too? No wonder it tasted so bad last time I ate one. Never liked them that much anyway - too doughy and never enough icing.

Jessica, you are an idiot… the box is green and white, so when you leave a fried doughnut on it overnight, the oil seeps through and you see the bleedthrough from the box, not from the doughnut.

No!!!!! For the love of god, say it ain’t so!!!! BLARGH it ALL, y’all! I could take them messing with fried chicken and french fries, but messing with Krispy Kreme is darn near sacrilege!!

But, yeah. I agree with a lot of y’all up above. I stay at 5’5”, ~ 115 pounds by exercising a good bit and eating Krispy Kreme whenever I want, because I don’t pig out on it every day. It’s an occasional treat like with JB McMultipost ;) , and my cholesterol and all those other levels are fine. I admit that I haven’t had Krispy Kreme in quite some time, and now I’m almost afraid to. Thanks a LOT guys — why can’t companies leave well enough alone?

Thank goodness Burger King hasn’t followed suit. The day they market their Angus goodness to soccer moms with skim lattes I’m totally giving up on American food in general.

Not as good. Stopped in Saturday to pick up a dozen “hot ones’, the hot sign was on. Was told that they were not making donuts at the store location anymore, that they were coming from the commissary and were only being warmed and glazed at each location. If I want warmed up donuts I can go to a convenience store. That just sucks!!! Another tradition falls by the wayside. Won’t be going back!!!!
