Abstract

for sour. All the bitterness has disappeared. I may feel faint and dizzy from the fruity syrup on my banana split, but isn't life about gluttony?</p><p id="3d2c">Don't worry about the stomach pain, kids. I have plenty of children's antacids. If you get the runs, I have a bottle of Imodium A-D.</p><p id="87af">I don't care about being careful, or staying away from foods that cause my gout; the burning and the swelling will only last a month.</p><p id="7387">So, let's forget that diabetes runs in the family.

Gluttony on the Cruise Ship

Where we suppress our common sense

Hurry, kids — come on, honey! Le's fill up our cheeks with sugar. Let's eat all we can. Stuff ourselves eating pies and funnel cakes at sea, tasting ice cream churro sundaes — how cold and sweet — how crispy.

There is no time for sour. All the bitterness has disappeared. I may feel faint and dizzy from the fruity syrup on my banana split, but isn't life about gluttony?

Don't worry about the stomach pain, kids. I have plenty of children's antacids. If you get the runs, I have a bottle of Imodium A-D.

I don't care about being careful, or staying away from foods that cause my gout; the burning and the swelling will only last a month.

So, let's forget that diabetes runs in the family. Let's suppress our common sense because we're on a mission to consume — Everybody, we're on a Caribbean cruise!
