Dear Dr. Science,
Is there a scientific basis for the affinity that law enforcement officers
have for donuts?
- Peter Diggs, San Francisco, CA
There is and it lies in the criminal nature of pastry. Being toroidal in
shape, donuts are the culinary equivalent of a snake eating its own tail, a
perpetual motion machine, if you will. This violates the laws of
Thermodynamics and any cop worth his badge has a gut feeling whenever a law
is broken. So the next time you enter a donut shop and see a policeman
chowing down on a baker's dozen, keep a respectful distance. He's risking
his cardiovascular system to serve and protect.
