Minutes of the Meeting:
Opening remarks:
"Good morning, esteemed members of the Committee of Conundrums. Today, we gather to address a matter of great import: the donut. Is it a pastry, a dessert, or perhaps a sentient being deserving of our compassion and understanding?
Member, Balthazar McSnazz:
"I propose we categorize donuts as a form of sentient being. They are, after all, comprised of a sentient mixture of sugars, fats, and sprinkles."
Member, Zephyr Wystan:
"I disagree. Donuts are merely a vehicle for the transmission of sugar and calories into the human body. We must not be swayed by their cute, fluffy exteriors."
Resolution:
After much deliberation, the Committee voted 3-2 in favor of designating donuts as a sentient being, pending further study.
