It's a Trade-Off

Life is all about trade-offs.
Like the saying goes- No such thing as a free lunch.

It doesn't matter.
To get one thing, you give up something else.

Have your cake and eat it?
Wouldn't we all like that?

Oh, but you could say sugar substitutes are a way to do that.
Sure, if you want to trade calories for chemicals.

As much as we want to say that there is not always one,
there is a trade-off of something.

Work overtime for more pay
you lose time at home relaxing, being with family or friends.

Giving up certain foods
you feel better, but there is a lot you can't have.
