I am sorry for what you just watched.  However, let’s use what you learned about utility and consumer preference to try to rationally analyze this behavior?  What’s this person marginal utility for each additional donuts?  What about her total utility for consuming these many donuts?  Do you think this is her normal behavior?  Or does she get additional utility besides the donuts she consumed?

Would you eat this many donuts if there were no repercussions (getting weight, calories and sugar overdose)?  Keep in mind some of the limit you might be facing, budget and size of your stomach.  If donuts are not your thing, what would be your food of choice?
