There are a bunch of talented bakers out there. People who can whip up the tastiest desserts from just a few simple ingredients. Their talent and skill fill each treat with extra goodness. Luckily for us, the bestbakersaren’t shy and love to share their goodies with theworld.
One such baker was doing just that and making tasty treats for her coworkers every couple of weeks. Unfortunately, two of her colleagues confronted her about it and tried to get her to stop for a weird reason.

2 of the woman’s colleagues, who are always dieting, confronted her one day, saying it’s unfair and unhealthy to tempt people who are trying to be ‘good’

The women also threatened to report her to HR for not having a hygiene rating certificate, because someone could get sick after eating the cakes
Another shocking part of the interaction was that the coworkers said she could be reported to Human Resources (HR) for not having a hygiene rating certificate. Ahygiene certificationis needed for food businesses to ensure all safety policies are met and to help customers make informed decisions. Since the poster hasn’t been selling her cakes at work, there’s no need for her to even get the certification.
It’s interesting to note that a person’s proximity to food or snacks can increase their likelihood of snacking. Anexperimentconducted at Google found that people overeat because they get tempted, especially if snacks are kept closer to them. It’s possible that the two women on a diet kept experiencing cravings after seeing the poster’s delicious snacks and finally couldn’t bear to look at the treats anymore.

Many people think that cravings are a result of not having enoughself-control. The reality is that many factors play a role in reinforcing the craving cycle, such as the wiring in our brains, as well as easy access to pleasurable foods.
Research states that it’s better to acknowledge the urge for food rather than trying to run away from it. The two women in the office probably could not resist the temptation of the cake, and their only plan was to forbid the poster from bringing in her baked goods.Dr. Suzanne Higgsof the University of Birmingham says that people who are dieting are often more responsive to the presence of food in their environment because food might always be on their minds.
Commenters sided with the woman, saying that self-control is a personal problem and that the other women should have minded their own business
