I wonder when food
Became a game of calories
And macronutrients
Instead of the very sustenance
That we require to survive

When diet referred to
Your yearly appetite
Instead of playing Jenga
To lose a few kilos.

Like everything else in life
It has to be taken in moderation
But our society has made eating
A battleground for restriction.
