” I’m allergic to fish, but I know I’ll never get sick eating a donut. The problem with donuts—or any food—is not inherent in the food, it’s in the choices made by the person who eats the food. Pigging out on a dozen donuts is bad. So is pigging out on a dozen fresh fish with rice. Moderation and balance are the key. “

You are equating eating a dozen fried doughnuts to eating 12 pieces of sushi ? LMFAO ! Check the fat / calorie / etc content and get back to me ! Unreal .

You seem to have missed my point completely. Gluttony is gluttony, whether you choose to cram yourself with sushi or with donuts. Also, there is no reason to think that sushi is lower in fat/calories than a donut. It all depends on the ingredients and how it's prepared. Are you stuffing your sushi with avocados and cream cheese? Brushing the fish with sesame oil? Oops, your fat content just skyrocketed. Rice isn't exactly low-cal, either. Soy sauce is very high in sodium. Assuming you are not adding high-fat ingredients to your sushi, consuming strictly low-fat foods can leave you feeling hungry and cause you to consume more calories overall than if you would have just consumed a moderate amount of high fat food. Fish may have high levels of mercury, depending on when and where it was harvested. Etc. Etc.
