salad

Description

A salad is the colorful assembly of vegetables mixed in disorder under the banner of health consciousness. It liquefies guilt through the sweet talk of dressing, numbing the conscience with every drizzle. Mastermind of zero-calorie illusions, it schemes to claim the star role on the table. Its crunchy ritual of affirmation convinces one that munching equals virtue. Ultimately, it is a snack bar of modern self-deception, growing more intoxicating with each forkful.
