Thin people or people who wish us to be thin would be more than happy to point out all sorts of health risks involved with being overweight. BMI this and cholesterol that however for some people it's a badge of honor. I'm a pastry chef myself and just in a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon of that worth of tasting throughout the day is easily 1200 to 1500 calories. Not to mention the normal 3 meals of the day. However no one can deny the fact that at my place of business the pastry chefs are by far the happiest and jovial of all the employees and we routinely have waitstaff and other chefs upstairs who will stay in the bakeshop for a few minutes to enjoy the zenlike quality of fresh bread, delicious pastries and the peace and serenity that comes from loving what you do.
