Why Fat is Complex (not a Complex Carbohydrate). Yet

Fat is the ounce
That can bounce.

Fat isn’t good
A fact understood.
But what we don’t know
If how far to go
So let the torch shine
On your waist line.


While some can be had
Most fat is bad
Fat saturated
Not unsaturated
Fat ennervated
Not fat dehydrated
Fat inculcated
Not fat decimated
..and transfat is, well,
trans fatal.

Omega three and omega six
Are a must-have in your daily fix
Get their input ratio right
Else the liver gets a fright.

Fat can be lit,
But isn’t quite light
It adds bit by bit
But not to your might.
Have you now learnt
Why they say fat is burnt?

And, scientists say, the story of fat
Is not as simple as that.

Carb isn’t fat
I never knew that.
Vice versa, adipose
Ain’t sucrose.
Yet, learn
There’s a qern.
A simple carb can add
To the fat that is bad
Complex carb is fad
And hence can be had.


Eat, in a word
Skimmed curd.

Cows are fat
And they live like that.
Dogs are fat
And they live like that
Cats
Are fats
And they, too, live like that.
Even, SUVs, dammit, are fat
And they live like that.

But why the stat
That when humans are fat
They die like that.
