A sweet addict on a food plan
that declares “no sugar!”
Then you read, “every cell
in your taste buds dies
and is replaced
by a brand-new taste bud cell
every two weeks,*
and it becomes clear
that no sugar for fourteen days
enables fruit to taste as good
as sugar always tasted
and you understand
allowing the process to work
replaces the danger with
a suitable choice with minimal…

and temporary…deprivation.
