Conjugate This Bowel


Because people don't recognize these are drugs. Put your heart on a platter.

The sacrifices people suffer for vanity makes my mind meander into methods of emaciation. The first goal seems to be to lose weight. Weight is a designation of our mass times the gravity affecting it. Weight is just a number. You weigh less on the moon. People obsess with a representation of a number. Just like age. Our perception of that number fuels our thoughts of weight loss. How does one lose "weight" How about cutting off a limb? I always think a better question is: "Do you feel healthy?"

Then there is the inevitable "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels," which is just as ridiculous as the first time I read it. You cannot compare a feeling to a sense, they are disparate things, a feeling is generated from a sense. It's like saying it smells better than I feel. Veins are meant to help guide conversation, not confuse you, or slash open, letting the red pour out hoping desperately that it clots.

For those of you who don't know. CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, is a supposed weight loss drug marketed by Jamieson Laboratories as a supplement. It affects insulin resistance and increases the chance of diabetes. Apple cider vinegar acts as a diuretic, giving into dehydration and the appearance of thin. Green tea extract contains anti-oxidants alongside caffeine, a psychoactive stimulant, diuretic, laxative. Guarana, similar situation to caffeine. The inescapable question as I sit here drinking this green tea and eating my ricotta danish becomes, "Is it worth it?"

We have a new song coming up. It's self written, just to change it up. We are calling it, "Let's get fat together."

qotd: "I eat meat because if I didn't people would think I was gay."
