Superfood pseudoscience

Eating some food is good,
Eating others is bad,
Some food we've had for centuries,
And some just before twas had.

Superfoods made an entry,
Promising a quick fix cure.

The food we've had for centuries.

To promise this claims were made,
With conviction and pseudoscience,
Or with some silly industry,
Maybe even some stupid doctors.

I did not follow these trends,
Because their advice made no sense,
And when my wife asked me to atleast try,
I said nonsense and went back to my fries.

Morning Sun by Edward Hopper

I am envious,\r\nOf the woman in the Morning Sun,\r\nShe is able,\r\nTo sit on a bed without a phone.\r\n\r\nSome people say, \r\nThat she was the painters wife,\r\nSitting in bed,\r\nContemplating her lonely life in an industrial suburb.\r\n\r\nAt a time,\r\nWe can log off from in real life,\r\nAnd log into,\r\nA world where we peep into other's lies.\r\n\r\nI am envious,\r\nThat the woman thinks...
