No Worries

For your lunchbox or party, to keep hale and hearty when it came to consumption of bread, 'six slices a day is the well balanced way' was what the TV adverts had said. Then the boffins agreed that the brown wholemeal seed was healthier for us all but they have now changed their minds and with research they find that white slices are good for the gut. Twenty units of beer we could drink without fear we were told by the powers that be but Chief medical advisor who's paid to be wiser says fourteen is better for me. Since Adam was weeding the garden of Eden by wheat and by grape we've survived ignore the statistics, have bread ,beer and biscuits and just enjoy being alive.

Awesome rhyme and story, Viv! I recently heard that two out of three poets recommend the same diet.

Very funny, Viv. Since we're all so different, who's to say what's healthy for anyone. I like cheesecake! Love the poem.
