    If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner,
    And take to light claret instead of pale ale;
    Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,
    And never touch bread till its toasted--or stale.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.

And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to
mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

morrow we shall die.
