FOUR SPECIAL WAYS OF EATING

In Singapore, eating is our favorite pastime.  An essential but simple biological life activity to ensure survival and health has developed into a fine art of culinary finesse and hedonistic epicurean experience here.

However, I wish to highlight 4 types of 'eating' that are all undesirable and unethical, but are rampant in modern societies.  My intention now is to make people more aware of these practices and to start to evaluate their own behavior.

Eating!

Eating is our favorite past-time.
Yet, there are other kinds more sublime.

Not for the kind and the moral to partake,
But something awful, for heaven's sake!

Have you heard of dog-EAT-dog?

Against each other they would slog.

In a rivalry between ruthless people,

Guided by no conscience or principle,

Then there's big-fish-EAT-small-fish.

When the rich and powerful have no wish,
To give way to the feeble and the weak,
In the race for their fine wine and big steak.

Man-EAT-man is the despicable notion,
Of grand betrayal and great deception.

For honesty is surely a rare commodity,

When making a fast buck is the priority.
 

Corruption, I call it man-EAT-money,

Seems as natural as bees making honey.

By saying that money makes the world go round,

As the perfect reason, it seems so sound.
 

So, new ways of eating you've now seen,
What an eye-opener it must have been!
If you think they're no crime,

Indulge in them as your favorite past-time!

So, there you have it - ways of eating that are actually against the survival and health of the Honorable Man!
