Specifically, I do not need to eat a sugar-glazed donut just because there's a box of them available at the office. Nor do I need to eat artificial-vanilla-flavored ice cream novelties just because someone is giving them out as "hey, you've all done well, let's celebrate a little."
Yes, it was easier to refuse the ice cream because I'd had a good, rich brownie with my after-lunch tea. But there's a real tendency to take and eat just about anything that's being given out at the office, and I'm glad to be remembering that free does not always mean desirable.
