A Critique of Pure Cookies

Immanuel Kant said: "Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a universal law of nature." It's part and parcel of his categorical imperitive, the idea that one must behave in a certain moral fashion, often boiled down to "I ought, therefore I can." So I shall act as if the bag of oreos I plan on polishing off for lunch (perhaps washing them down with a beer) shall become, through my will, a healthy meal becuase I'm too lazy to go to the store and that's all I have in my apartment.
