Or poison that tastes good.

    I guess it depends on what you're treating. :)

    Thought-provoking! I like the depth here--how often what we think we want, what tastes good and is convenient, isn't what's best for us. I also really liked the picture you chose to go along with this poem.

  • Both, please! I love this! I had a friend from Japan who used to say the same thing. He used to tell me “American medicine doesn’t work, it tastes to good to work. Medicine only works if it tastes awful!” Lol that’s what I thought of when I read this!
