The food
pyramid keeps changing,
re-arranging,
but never presentsanything appetizing to me. The Food Channel
makes delectable treats using applesauce
instead of sugar, say what? So many helpings
of fresh vegetables and fruit are a main stay
for any good
diet. But no matter how much I tryto maintain, I’ve never prettied up vegetables enough
to make them as appetizing as a chocolate-pecan cookie,
a snow white coconut cake, or a helping of miracle fudge!

lol....so true! It's never gonna happen, but getting fudge from a fruit would be miracle enough for me!
You definitely have a point Judy! So glad to see you writing!
so very, very true! Camouflage--like spinach in spaghetti sauce. Humorous to think about, and your poem caught the playfulness.
You speak the truth, Judy!
"The food pyramid keeps changing."
True. And maybe some day they'll get it right!
... a woman poet after my own heart! Bring on the key lime pie, the chocolate chip brownies ...
yay for fudge and love this
I think I need to come and cook for you, Judy. Was it a good thing that I introduced you to artichokes?
I think you DO have to come cook for me, Ann! Bring the artichokes with you. We don't have artichokes the size of basketballs here! :)
ha, it does keep changing you know...i realized that when my kids were learning it this year...i will take fruit over chocolate any day...or mix the two...smiles.
Ah fudge..it doth sound better than eating a tomato or and apple. :)
Amen, sister. Especially "mistake" fudge, the kind that accidentally turns to sugar and gets all dry and grainy. Heaven.
Judy, this was a wonderful take on the prompt. Every blog that carries that pic makes me crack up. You certainly have a cornucopia of a poem here (groan)!! Amy
I think sunlight is becoming less and less palatable to most people on this rock, but isnt sugar a plant too ! .
Ooooo.... everything you like... I LIKE!
Why is everything we like fattening!
Judy, I like the flow of thought in this - fun and true.

Oh I can relate! although I do love veggies and fruit- thanks!
fruits and veggies are the core of our life...we are of the earth and need her to flourish...lovely..bkm
Got to agree with you about anything sweet, but a veggie or two (stir-fry) will make it all possible!
Did I read fudge! I know with all the things this poor veggie man has to deal with and you mention fudge! great idea! :)
I eat very few sweet things at the moment. I do like them, but feel better when I pass them by. On the contrary, I eat tons of strawberries and blueberries.
