If you're given a cookie that's hard to give up, but you're worried about calories.
You do not deserve the cookie, but can earn 1/2 of it by throwing 1/2 of it away.
Works every time.
So then you've received your 1/2 of a cookie, but since you're worried about calories, you can earn half of that (1/4 of a full cookie) by throwing half of it away ...
That's the way the cookie crumbles. (Also not that different from money being taxed repeatedly (taxed as income then VAT then taxed as income ... repeat ad paupertam.)
