Cut the carbs and oxygen too
What I mean is the CO2
They claim it’s the solution
To our continued evolution
No, Dorothea, simple idea
But no panacea
Just as cutting the carbs
Is not the solution
To the pandemic of excess weight distribution.

It’s so funny because I was JUST thinking how bread has become this “evil thing” – yet it is the food of life in so many cultures. I, myself, cut back and felt I was missing something… Balance is key. And this poem is perfectly balanced.

Thank you, Dale. I don’t eat bread, but that’s because I have a sensitivity to gluten, and I keep my carbs low… which allows me to pig out on protein & fats!
