Oxymorons in the Supermarket

If an example of an oxymoron you want to find

Look at the supermarket aisles, many product descriptions can be defined

As excellent instances of the same-

Some “healthy” products make misleading claims

Like “low calorie” oil or “low carbohydrate” bread

About the audacity of these claims, there is something to be said

Bread is composed of “carbs”, these days much maligned

By a caloric content of 9 per gram, all fats are defined

Unfortunately this is a brilliant marketing tactic

Unsuspecting customers these expensive products pick

That may be healthy, but not in the ways advertised

It is easy to fall for such claims, I’ve realized

Though I should know better, I have bought

Such products with the subconscious thought

That at some level these claims are true

By buying these products, something good for my health I can do
