Kale is the Holy Grail—This Week
Posted: November 27, 2020
My head is spinning from all the advice…
Depending on the week or year
The key to good health is finally here
Biblical grains were in for a while
But amaranth failed to make people smile.
A plant-based diet is now all the rage
Filling magazines page after page
Chocolate was bad until it was good
Now French fries aren’t even a food.
Who knew?
Nutritional info on Snickers?—Get real!
White meats are good, pork and veal
My doctor says okay to a little
Alas, today’s vittle is not just a vittle.
My head is spinning from all the advice
Brown, organic or plain white rice?
Beef is fine for protein needs
But only grass-fed from the very best breeds.
Oh, why doesn’t bacon grow on a tree?
Why aren’t cookies good for me?
Apple, orange, pear, and peach
Recommended dose: a half cup each.
If I do it all right, I’ll be 101
But who wants that if eating’s no fun?
Instead, I’ll chuck food as medicine
And gleefully wallow in dietary sin.
