#100sciencepoems 25: Nutrition

Based on a certain chapter in Ben Goldacre’s book Bad Science, and revelations contained therein about a certain ersatz doctor’s claims about food.

Contains swears.

    • I’ve heard that if you eat a seed

      Your body gets the benefit

      Of everything that seed could be

      All of the nutrients can fit

      • Inside that little tiny shell.

        And it’s as if you ate a tree

        I can’t imagine feeling well

        If that happened inside of me.

        • I read somewhere that leafy greens,

          Because of all the chlorophyll,

          Oxygenate your blood. It seems

          To me that I would feel quite ill

          • If when I ate a plate of kale

            The sunlight could get right inside

            My healthy eating kick would fail

            If every time I ate I died.

            • Ms G McKeith’s a lying cunt

              So just eat what the fuck you want
