THE NEW AMERICAN DIET -Poetry

  THE NEW AMERICAN DIET

 

Sweater than apples, juicier than fruit.

Donuts and cider, Halloween loot.

All passed out to kids in school.

Pop tarts replace the oatmeal gruel.

And the board members gather around cake.

Processed food, chemically fake.

Here is the new American Diet.

Ditch the nutrition; come and try it.

Salty chips, greasy fries.

Nothing natural, food-disguise.

 

And their bellies stuffed way past full,

Getting more unhealthy, with each mouthful.

Don't forget diabetes and rotting teeth.

Bigger shirts to hide what’s underneath.

Cheers to the new American Diet.

You are guaranteed to die by it.
