Birthday treats, meeting leftovers and office grazing...

The counter in front of my desk at work is the "official" place to leave your birthday bagels, promotion donuts and leftover coffee cake from the staff meeting for the entire office to graze on. I realize I can't expect the world to change for me, but is it irrational for me to ask people to stop. It's not like I'm asking people not to bring things or stop eating around me, I just want to be able to leave my desk without having to walk past a tray of ridiculously sweet things that I can never eat again. Anyone tried to deal with this before?
