This all came about for things like muffins. Buying one; you are going out and buying a snack. Buy a dozen, and you are buying groceries; very few famillies of 4 will sit down and chow down on a dozen donuts while out shopping. To keep things simple, they made the rule apply to baked goods, and not just something good for you like a muffin.
Because between Bran muffins, chocolate muffins, chocolate cupcakes, baked donuts, fried donuts; where do you draw that line? I'm glad the gov't didn't try and figure out what people should or shouldn't be eating.
