Fun:Doughism

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Doughism is the belief that eating a diet of only raw cookie dough will prevent all disease. It is purported that raw cookie dough has everything in it that the body needs to survive off of, especially chocolate chip cookie dough. It is purported by some strange woo-meisters living under the Golden Gate Bridge as the cure for everything, including AIDS, cancer, and even death.

The major schism in the religion is between those who favor chocolate chip cookie dough, the Cocists, and those who don't, some of whom favor oatmeal cookie dough (Oatestants), and others of whom prefer peanut butter cookie dough (Peabutarians). Additionally, the Pandoughists claim that any form of raw cookie dough will serve. The Postovenists claim that in addition, properly cooked cookie dough (known as "cookies") will also preserve one's health.

There are even a few radicals who enjoy eating bread dough, or chewing it like gum until only the gluten is left. Those weirdos need to be purged.

[edit] In reality

In reality, eating raw cookie dough is not only poor nutrition, but it is also dangerous because you can contract diseases, such as salmonella, from the raw eggs in it (if the dough was made from scratch, not some powdered mix). Not that anyone actually cares.
