A Modest Proposal ~ Jonathan Swift

   I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection. 

   I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasse or a ragout.
