metabolism

Description

Metabolism is the internal performance art that incinerates the tribute known as calories for survival and proudly calls the ashes vitality. It operates unnoticed to cover up one’s laziness and conveniently serves as an excuse for overeating. This merciless judge of nutritional feasts secretly donates leftover energy to the body fat fund. Exercise is credited as effort, rest is condemned as slowdown, embodying a constant paradox. Essential for life yet the most feared arbiter by those who dread the scale.
