To eat, or not to eat--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the stomach to suffer
The stings and rumbles of processed meat
Or to fill trashcans with the pork of troubles
And by opposing end them. To starve, to fast--
No more--and by a fast to say we end
The heartburn, and the thousand digestive shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a continuation
Devoutly to be wished. To fast, to starve--
To starve--perchance to lose: ay, there's the rub,
For in that starvation of fasts what loses may come
When we have shuffled off this restaurant stool,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so much pork.
For who would bear the glare and scorns of dieticians,
Th' cholesterol’s wrong, the fit man's contumely
The pangs of despised craving, the love handle’s expansion,
The willingness of orifice, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy bites,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare fork? Who would fardels bear,
To munch and chew at a weary dish,
But that the dread of something after lunch,
The familiar hunger, from whose bourn
All travellers return, bothers the tummy,
And makes us rather bear those foods we have
Than fly to others that taste like veggies?
Thus taste does make gluttons of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of diet. -- Soft you now,
The fair Spam! -- Siren, in thy orisons
Be all my bites remembered.

that is the greatest thing I have ever seen/ maybe the only thing that used the phrase :
The willingness of the orifice
appropriately and poetically and with the true sense of the word.
That alone is worth applause but it is amazingly put together the rest into a awesomely well designed work which gets two thumbs up
