Can you do self-insemination at home ?
Recently, Krispy Kreme announced a promotion to incentivize vaccination efforts: anyone presenting a valid COVID vaccination card can receive a free original glazed donut, valid every day for the rest of the year. According to their chief marketing officer, this promotion is a gesture of support for the vaccination campaign. Additionally, anyone can snag a free donut on Mondays from now until May, regardless of vaccination status.
While free donuts sound like a fun idea, the internet couldn’t resist chiming in, and, of course, the conversation quickly spiraled into discussions about obesity. Many took to social media, questioning how Krispy Kreme could offer free donuts when obesity is purportedly linked to worse COVID outcomes. The outrage? Truly, it’s unnecessary.
First off, Krispy Kreme has a history of similar promotions—this isn’t their first rodeo. They frequently distribute free donuts for various occasions, like birthdays or holidays. The reality is, very few people will go to Krispy Kreme every single day to claim their free donut, even if they theoretically could. Most individuals, regardless of their body size, are not going to change their daily habits just because of a donut promotion.
As someone who enjoys donuts, I can attest to the fact that I’ve passed by Krispy Kreme multiple times since the announcement without feeling compelled to stop. The idea that people will get vaccinated solely for a free donut, then binge on them, is both exaggerated and unrealistic. This uproar really just reflects an undercurrent of fat-shaming disguised as concern for health.
Interestingly, a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut has only slightly more calories and sugar than certain breakfast options, yet the outrage seems misplaced. It’s often the case that discussions around food and body image are filled with hypocrisy, where the focus is on policing others’ choices rather than fostering a healthy dialogue about body positivity and acceptance.
Krispy Kreme is a donut shop; it’s what they do. They aren’t delivering donuts to people’s homes or promoting unhealthy eating habits. This promotion is simply a fun way to get people excited about vaccination, similar to other incentives being offered across various sectors.
It’s essential to allow people to enjoy treats without judgment. Eating a donut every now and then is not a crime, regardless of your body size. Sweet treats bring joy, and it’s perfectly acceptable to indulge every once in a while.

Summary
The Krispy Kreme promotion offering free donuts with vaccination cards sparked an unnecessary debate about obesity and health. The outrage reflects societal fat-shaming tendencies more than genuine concern for health, as the company has a history of similar promotions. Enjoying a donut occasionally should not be stigmatized, and it’s essential to foster a culture of body positivity.
