Food Battle: Tasty vs Healthy

In the land of cravings, a tale unfolds,
Where the eyes, heart, tongue, brain, and stomach behold.
Healthy food whispers, “I’m your best bet!”
But tasty delights cry, “Don’t you forget!”

The eyes spy a cake, oh, so divine,
Heart longs for salads, a choice so fine.
The tongue chants praises of sugary treats,
While the brain mulls veggies for nutritious feats.

But the stomach, it growls with voracious might,
“Bring forth the feasts, both healthy and light!”
A battle ensued, a gastronomic war,
Between what’s delectable and what’s good for the core.

The heart sang of greens, “They’re pure delight!”
The eyes glared at pizza, “Oh, what a sight!”
The brain chimed in, “Let’s make a plan!”
While the tongue rejoiced, “Taste rules, man!”

In the midst of this clash, oh, the irony,
Obesity looming, a matter so zany!
The eyes and tongue, they cheered in glee,
While the stomach groaned, “What about me?”

Yet amidst this chaos, a lesson arose,
Balance, they learned, is how it all goes.
Healthy and tasty, hand in hand,
Moderation reigns, a rule so grand.

So let us dine with joy and care,
Choosing what’s tasty and what’s fair.
For in this battle of foodie lore,
Balance prevails, forevermore!
