I was raised on a dairy farm and ate plenty of meat and eggs until about twenty years ago. I started doing nutritional research, and …my family made major dietary changes. I'm just paying attention to what the data are telling me. The scientific evidence came first.
—T. Colin Campbell iamb
A metrical foot of two syllables, one short (or unstressed) and one long (or stressed). There are four iambs in the line "Come live/ with me/ and be/ my love," from a poem by Christopher Marlowe. (The stressed syllables are in bold.) The iamb is the reverse of the trochee.
