The Quick Fix Diet


Americans are easy prey
for the latest diets of the day.
(The food and diet industries
are experts at selling fantasies!)
Now, with dieting and eating there’s
a relationship that compares
to one in nature called symbiotic.
That happens when two biologic
organisms benefit each other
even when they are dissimilar.
And I don’t mean to be a cynic,
but symbiotic sounds parasitic.
The results of overeating will,
and do, have side-effects that kill,
and dieting when it’s excessive
becomes addictive and obsessive.
The dieter, by skipping dinner,
may think he’s getting thinner
but the loss of calories intended
is later by over-eating augmented. 
Financially, of course, it’s not funny
except the food and diet industry
fattens on your thinning money!
