I share your feeling. I live right next to a super fancy bakery and I go by every evening around closing time and chat up the people behind the counter. I get so much free and fancy bread. Sourdough bread measured in kilos rather than amounts. Seasonal pastries. It's so good but also a danger to my health.
I share it around with friends, family and those in need. Mainly because I love sharing things and helping others, but also because it would seriously endanger my health otherwise. I recently got three dozen cinnamon buns with caramelized bottoms and some lemon zest on top I am quite certain the amount of... well everything, bread, butter, sugar, deliciousness, etc could put me in a coma
I did the exact same thing whenever I walked by the homeless encampments from work back to my house; I'd be a mess, maybe even pre-diabetic, if I didn't deliberately share whenever I hit the not-free bakery after getting once again pulled in by volume discounts.
Pictured: Me not telling somebody about the free bread for more than 5 seconds (the vein is bulging because I've ingested several pounds of pastries)
Rad!
