I Eat Therefore I Am Poem by Brian Taylor

I Eat Therefore I Am



The medical profession
has not been kicking its heels.
Faced with a spreading obsession
with eating and an explosion
in obesity,
it offers a solution
of Cartesian simplicity.
SNACKING BETWEEN MEALS!

This reduces your appetite at mealtimes
and helps you compensate
by EATING your way to losing weight.
Today Cornmarket is full
of the well-insulated
with heads enturbulated
by nutritional dyslexia,
munching their way to anorexia.
