Gastro-Physics And Dietary Anti-Matter
by: Will Clower, Ph.D.
Do a little people-watching,
next time you’re in the grocery line. There’s always
someone with a cart, bulging with every conceivable kind of
diet food. Flats of turkey bacon prop listlessly against the
fat free half & half and Olestra cookies.
At first glance, this is clearly someone
who is completely health conscious, diet minded, and watching
what they eat.
But peek beneath the basket to the lower rack – where you
normally find dog food, kitty litter, and toxic chemicals – and
you will see the full case of Mountain Dew. Diet foods and junk
foods, rubbing wrappers in the very same cart might suggest
mental illness, delusional optimism, or some other form of
brain strain.
However, unbeknownst to the rest of us, these folks are
actually brilliant physicists, cleverly disguised as profoundly
confused shoppers, so as not to attract any attention. They
throw you off their trail with very characteristic behaviors,
like chasing a candy bar with a Diet Coke.
Yes, we can now release the fact that these scientists are
members of the little know branch of their field known as
gastro-physics, and they are actually testing a high-level
theory regarding matter and anti-matter. Just as matter can be
annihilated by anti-matter, they show how calories can be
eliminated, obliterated, and just forgotten about altogether if
you just consume them with their Universal opposite.
Oreos and skim milk cancel perfectly.
M&Ms are vaporized into the next astral plane when thrown
into a trail mix bag with a few Spanish peanuts.
And then there’s diet drinks … the perfect dietary anti-matter
for any form of plasticized fruit rollup, gummy worms, or even
weight loss candy bars.
Sorry for the dive into the messy scientific details, but
there’s just a bit more you should know about this physics
phenomenon. The calorie cancellation must happen within a
certain time frame, if you are serious about blipping away that
ingot of taffy you just ate.
It’s like your mother explained, logically, that swimming after
quick a baloney and cheese sandwich at the beach will make you
drop like a rock to the bottom of the ocean, unless you wait
the required 30 minutes or so.
In just the same way, modern gastro-physicists indicate that
full cancellation can only take effect if the diet product
smashes into the junk food within 7.45 minutes. These guys are
brilliant.
So the next time you see cleverly disguised gastro-physicists
chasing their Snickers with a Diet Coke, don’t harrumph.
They’re not as daft as they seem.
