Eat an apple

Eat a salad

Eat nothing at all

 

You'll be fat

They'll say

You won't be beautiful

They'll say

 

You should be skinny

They'll say

You should be pretty

They'll say

 

I'm happy

I'll say

I'm beautiful

Either way

 

Eat a pizza

Eat a cake

Eat

The author's comments:

Why should we conform to what other people say or think? We should be able to eat until we're happy and not care about how we look. Everyone is beautiful either way.
