Healthy offerings or scam?

The office gals at work are staging a protest. We are all trying diets of different degrees and have asked the baker of the group to not bake and bring any more sweets. This person is practically a bag of bones and the best baker. The offerings we got this past year have been so delicious, but also calorie packed. After two days of protesting and refusing the scrumptious offering we came to work to find a bowl of walnuts and granola bars. We thought the battle had been won...... Until we discovered the granola bars were loaded with extras and the healthy bowl of nuts was actually carmel coated sugar sprinkled walnuts. Upon picking a nut to try it, one of the gals pronounced "we've been scammed!"
We want to think it was a misunderstanding and not a sneaky attempt to ruin diet plans.... But really who knows.
