the upside down pyramid

i toss away

the old food pyramid,

the one

advising what to eat

for nutrition,

and a long life.

the one with

grains on the top,

breads and cereals,

oats and wheat,

followed

by vegetables

and fruits,

each scientifically

sweetened by

men in goggles

wearing white.

seed oils and margarine

are safe too,

the food gurus

told us.  pffft.

i make a thin rectangle

instead, this time.

i write down

coffee, meat, eggs, butter,

water,

and an occasional

slice of pizza

from Momma Luigi's.

one meal per

day, is all i need.

and on cheat day i eat

an apple,

just like the one Adam

received from Eve.
