This little ditty apparently featured in a cookbook in Carolina many moons ago. I think it is a very amusing & true summary of the advice on what not to eat that we are given nowadays. I love it.
Cholesterol is poisonous, so never, never eat it.
Sugar, too, may murder you; there is no way to beat it.
And fatty food may do you in; be certain to avoid it.
Some food was rich in vitamins, but processing destroyed it.
So let your life be ordered by each documented fact
And die of malnutrition - but with arteries intact.
