Tis not the quantity but eating speed; <br />'Tis not the quality but balanced food; <br />'Tis not the satiety but primal need; <br />‘Tis not the food that matters but our mood. <br /> <br />Sheer gluttony is sin at any age; <br />One's labours should decide the quantity; <br />How much of words can hold a single page? <br /> Let food be by affordability. <br /> <br />The grape is same that gives the juice or wine; <br />The food is same that prince or pauper eats; <br />The taste depends on proper sugar, brine; <br />The mind matters much more than all sweetmeats. <br /> <br /> Our food-habits decide our health and feat; <br /> We eat to live; Don't live to eat and eat.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-on-our-diet/
