The Great Food Debate
By: JayM
The health food propagandists are at it again and a recent conversation between one and yours truly at the morning feed frenzy went thus:
"You should start your day with a slice of Aloe Vera, followed by Green Tea with Oat biscuits, a Tomato/Spinach Omelette with ragi, oatmeal & sesame seeds." She chimed, smiling through an early morning lilt.
"Gobbledygook! UGH!" I grimaced.
"It's a breakfast fit for a boss."
"Whose? I exclaimed, panic sneaking up my spine. "If I had a boss who ate like that, I'd run as far away from the madwoman as I could. No telling what else she'd be capable of."
"It cleanses your system and makes your skin bright." She insisted.
"Don't need to shine like a light bulb. And it's in violation of my appetite to eat right." Smug within my chin, I retorted.
"But it helps you garner energy." She pushed
"But what about my mental synergy?" I pulled back with fervid energy.
"It will help you get through the day."
"And will take my sanity, along, on its way."
As I held, exasperated, she yelled,
"You're a Pig, a Glutton and will never learn!"
"Big, I'm certain, & your food makes my stomach churn!"
RED, she stomped off, couldn't last, while I tucked into – my breakfast, a good repast...
7AM Aloo parathas anyone, with maybe a couple of butter fried sunny sides up?
Lets save humanity from this mad food fad.
Insanity!
Gorge! Is my take, and the HFPs can go jump in the lake.
A pinch of salt – Iodised, is advised.
* I find humor, and my reading glasses in odd places.
