Hon Let (The Diet) (Hamlet in English)

Hon Let was written by William Vikkelgabel (William Shakefork), a well known nutritionist and writer of the Old Coastal Atlantean period. It was commisioned by King Cheesecake VI to highlight issues of health and obesity that Atlantis was suffering at the time.

It was published in the year 708 AF, about 200 years after the Second Great Cheesecake War, but it was set about the time of The Great Cheesecake Enlightenment, where King Gerhard discovered cheesecake, and it changed Atlantean society forever. Its signature piece is the soliloquy "To eat or not to eat" which details King Gerhard's struggle with his diet, imposed by the tough new parliament.

In the beginning of the soliloquym he opines "to eat or not to eat" while looking plaintively at a cheesecake in front of him. He wonders if eating the cheesecake is worth it, if it means setting himself down a bad path.
