Man eats pizza
with garlic sauce.
Despite his best
Intentions
to avoid such dairy-dabbling.
Later ham, a most overwhelmingly
Underwhelming
of meats.
Despite his lifelong
Avoidance
of an animal appetite.
Why?
Then does he continue to
Devour such
forbidden fruits that aren't fruits.
Because they were going in the bin.
Although it may at first appear though the writer has developed a carnivorous lifestyle since birth - as is illustrated through their description of ham as an 'underwhelming[...]' De Factomeat which highlights their refined palette for dead flesh - this idea is quickly refuted by the 10th line's central theme of 'avoidance' of an 'animal appetite'. Thus we are, as a reader, led to believe that the writer is weak-minded and suffering from an inner turmoil between what their ideals - avoidance of 'fruits that aren't fruits' (by which we can infer the poet means meat and dairy) and their consumption of said foodstuffs. However this theme of inner turmoil is again subverted by the poem's elegantly simple last line 'Because they were going in the bin'.

What ever could be better?
Despite lack of meat
Vegetables suffice
The hunger-filled man
As he voyages home
Through streets lamp-lit
Every occurrence
Seems full of wit
Perhaps it's the beer.
As is lucidly obvious in this verse, the protagonist of the text is hungry and, it can be implied, drunk. It is likely because of this that he finds the sub-standard quality food to be of great benefit to his personal being. Even though it's probably pretty shit.
