I have an unhealthy relationship with my multi-vitamins. The truth is . . . they enable me.

Just this morning, I was trying to decide between having a healthy, high-fiber, low-fat breakfast . . . or a piece of homemade apple pie.

I wanted the pie. But there’s something truly decadent about eating dessert for breakfast. Especially since I no longer have the metabolism I once possessed.

But still: I wanted the pie. I just needed to figure out a way to justify having it.

Pie has fruit, after all. And pie crust is not entirely unlike a slice of whole wheat, high fiber bread. It’s certainly healthier than a donut. Or a Pop-Tart.

I seized upon the obvious solution. I’ll take a multivitamin with my piece of pie, and that will make up for everything.

Flawed logic, perhaps. But the pie? Totally worth it.
