“The Zone”
The worst part about
Obesity and the lack of progress
Is that when the simplicity-focused crowd finally come to the conclusion
That there is another element contributing
To other bodies problems that
They don’t inhabit, personally—
The worst part is
They will say things like
“Well we didn’t know better—
We were just going off of
What the “science told us” at the time”
Bitch please —
The advertisements for diet programs on your phone
Are not scientific studies, I think
What you meant to say
Is that you were going off of
What your gut told you, which is sometimes right—
But often science goes against what you
May or may not find instinctively right—
Eg.
The evolution of mankind! Or —
Climate change. Or —
Invitro fertilization
All things that seem
Preposterous and ridiculous
When you’re living inside your asshole,
Not ever understanding or developing an interest in
The details, and if you were—
You’d realize— wow—
I’d never come up with this on my own,
But I’m glad someone else noticed.”
But yeah yeah yeah
Calories in, calories out,
Exercise until your anxiety becomes
So all encompassing that you’ve turned it off—
You’re now living in “the zone”
