a haiku on tuna

tuna is good for lunch.
I wasn't a fan till med.
now i eat too much.

Med has taught me the value of several food groups.

Firstly - canned food. There are many foods that come in a can that you can basically eat as they come.
Tuna is one I've recently begun to eat a lot of, but only in the last couple of weeks. When I started medicine I noticed that so many people would bring tiny little cans of this smelly fish and mix it with various other food groups - crackers, salads, rice, macaroni cheese, etc. And I didn't understand it because a - it was smelly, and b - I'd never liked it in the first place.

Now I have a pantry shelf filled with various flavours. Are you aware that you can get nearly any flavoured tuna? I wouldn't be surprised if during one of my future shopping trips I stumble across a bubble-gum flavour or potato flavour. Not that I'd probably enjoy either of those, but I'm just saying that there would be little surprise.

Rice is another food group I took for granted until now. This past week I've probably had close to eight meals that contain it, and right now - I've mixed it with tuna. I can imagine a pathologist looking at my blood and being confused by what he sees.

PATHOLOGIST 1: *looks at blood* what the...
PATHOLOGIST 2: What is it?
PATHOLOGIST 1: Have a look because I wouldn't have a clue...
PATHOLOGIST 2: It looks like she's one quarter blood, three-quarters rice.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, would you like some rice with that meal - because I've got plenty. Not to mention rice now comes in microwavable packages. What will people think of next?!
