Advertising says: (Free verse) by Dovina

It always bothers me when people say they eat healthy food, as if the health of the food matters. What they think they are eating is healthful food. That’s what advertisers are promoting in products like breakfast cereal. On the other side are McDonalds and its look-alikes that promote tasty food which usually contains too much saturated fat (which could add to body weight but not necessarily; that’s another use of the word “fat.”). The dichotomy is tasty fat verses healthful food.

So it goes throughout the 31 lines (counting blank lines) and 44 words – dichotomous pairs.
