With all the chatter on the Internet today, lengthy paragraphs are a fast track to glazed-over eyeballs.

Here at TakePart, we're confident we can get our message across in just 17 syllables.  Ahem. Behold, our haikus to the food industry:

Michael Pollan, you

Make grocery shopping fun

For this, we love you.

Or, if you'd rather:

Dear factory farms,

Your practices make us sick.

Quite literally.


Have a haiku of your own? We'd love to hear your own ode to the food industry, from your love for heirloom tomatoes to your loathing for pesticides. Anything food-related is fair game.

Share your haiku in the comments section. Just remember: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. Go!
