Yum! Ok, well I guess 3 characters shorter than the above and you get the world record for the shortest review. A cold hard satire on what you should eat if you are being starved out, for one thing. Mr. Swift was certainly not afraid to take a crack at any institution, lampooning with great delight and insight.

Yum! Ok, well I guess 3 characters shorter than the above and you get the world record for the shortest review. That about sums that part of it up, though. A cold hard satire on what you should eat if you are being starved out, for one thing. Mr. Swift was a very entertaining man, indeed.
