With Apologies to Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins

I looked on food from both sides now,
From binge to starve,
And still somehow,
It's food's illusions I recall.
I really don't know food...at all...


P.S. I binge-ate when I was in my early-twenties and I starved myself in a fit of pseudo-anorexia when I was in my mid-twenties. I would like to think I have a saner attitude toward food today -- but only by comparison.
