Here’s part of a Manchester Union Leader editorial from earlier this month on similar arguments in their parts:

When hospital administrators and physicians send the message that it is never OK to eat certain fatty foods, they harm their credibility. Most people understand that a doughnut every now and then is not, in itself, a serious health threat. Health care professionals would better serve the public by reminding us of the need to view sweets as an occasional supplement to a healthy diet and exercise regimen. They could also remind us how much exercise it would take to burn off a single doughnut — or a grande latte, for that matter. Physicians are supposed to help us make healthy decisions, not make those decisions for us.
