In a fireless kitchen, where nature reigns,
We find the purest sustenance remains.
Uncooked fruits and vegetables, bright and true,
Offer a simple path for me and you.

From earth to plate, their journey is swift,
No flames to change their natural gift.
In colours vibrant, they do appear,
With whispers of health, so pure and clear.

These gifts of the soil, sun-kissed and sweet,
Are easiest for our bodies to greet.
For in their raw state, nutrients stay,
Unbroken by heat, in perfect array.

Our cells, so delicate, crave the light
Of foods unaltered by fire’s bite.
For when we consume what nature bestows,
Our health in simplicity grows and glows.

Complexity in food brings toil within,
A burden our bodies wear as sin.
To convert what’s changed by heat’s demand,
Strains our nature, a struggle unplanned.

Meat, a challenge infinitely more dire,
Demands great effort from our inner fire.
Its dense fibers, tough and so complex,
Require much more for our cells to annex.

Locally grown, in season’s embrace,
Fruits and vegetables find their place.
They match our needs in the simplest ways,
Aligning with our natural days.

In harmony with time and place,
They nourish us with gentle grace.
What grows nearby, in soil we share,
Supports our health with tender care.

Wheat and refined oils we should avoid,
Their complexities leave our bodies annoyed.
Cutting down sugar and salt is wise,
For simplicity in our diet is the prize.

In the garden’s raw embrace,
We find a harmony, a gentle pace.
Fruits and greens, in their simplest form,
Align with our cells, a perfect norm.

So let us feast on what’s fresh and pure,
In a fireless kitchen, where we ensure
That what we eat is in tune with our core,
For health and vitality, evermore.
