Guilt Biscuits sits innocently on a laser-cut glass platter. On closer inspection the platter is laser-cut with words which describe ‘fat’, and the real biscuits are hand stitched with the words ‘GUILT’ and ‘IN CONTROL’. There is a desire to eat the biscuits until one sees that they are stitched with thread.
