I Wrote Satire for the First Time

I’ve never written satire before but after reading a bunch of the Babylon Bee clickbait I felt inspired to write one.

Communism Now Most Popular Diet Among Millennials

According to a recent poll, communism is now the most popular diet among millennials and they can’t stop raving about the wonders of this latest diet trend.

Growing tired of the endless choices at the grocery store and meal prepping, millennials turn to communism and praise how “you’ll gradually depend less on food and focus on working hard for the people.”

“Communism is the easiest diet out there,” said Michael Faber, 22. “You don’t need to exercise or count calories and all you have to do is drink lots of water and eat once a day. Eventually, you’ll get used to the hunger pains and reduce your meal intake to once a week.”

“It’s simple,” said Katie Brown, 25, “just wait in long lines until you’re thinking about food but don’t actually eat anything. It helped me lose over a hundred pounds in two weeks!”

“This is the only diet that can keep the pounds off and I’ve tried keto, the South Beach Diet, and Weight Watchers but nothing was permanently effective like communism,” she added, clutching her stomach.

When asked about the downsides of the communism diet and the horrible results of starvation from others who tried it, she just shrugged and said, “Real communism has never been tried but when done right it works.”
