"A trans fat is like a feckless person with narcissism. These are those people who look good and spend time on looking good, have a sense of self-importance and entitlement, are charming and often lead a puffed double life."
A nice article about food labeling.
"Eating trans fat is like throwing sand into your finely regulated metabolic machinery."
"Trans fat is like plastic, it does not go bad! It also does tremendous damage to your arteries because the body can not physically process it."
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
