Counter-Productive Much?

The protein shake bar at my gym closed a while ago, and to replace it they've (finally) opened up a cafe/snack-bar type deal.  That's great, because I am sure some people will want to have some real food options rather than just a shake before or after a work out.

They've only been open a few days, so I am sure you'll forgive me when I say I haven't had the time to inspect their wares.  However, tonight as I passed by after a pretty decent cardio workout, I notice, sitting on one of those crystal cake pedestals, a bunch of donuts.  I'm talking glazed, cream-filled, you name it.

Don't you think that's just a tad inappropriate to have at a gym?  I'm not miffed because I want one and can't have it, because you know by now that I don't crave that kind of stuff anymore.  I just think that they could have done without such an unhealthy item at a health club.  However I am sure there are quite a few people there that WILL feel taunted.  It's like those jerks that eat a burger in front of the gym window just to sadistically laugh at those poor suffering people looking at it longingly.

Or maybe it's a test to see if these people can keep their will-power in order and NOT get a donut.  I must say that someone failed that test, because the tray wasn't exactly full.

All-around bad plan.
