eat, eat, eat

please

don't get healthy

the doctor

says,

the food industry pleads.

please

eat it all.

all the sugar,

all the bread, all the oils

that we make.

our lively hood depends

upon your

belief in the foods

we magically create,

the chemically altered

grub

on the shelf.

please don't get healthy.

take

the pills we dispense

when you become

diabetic

and fat.

when your joints ache,

your heart

breaks,

please don't get healthy,

eat, eat, eat

and drink our caramelized

sugar waters.

be merry as you wobble

down

our path.

here, have a smoke

while you're at it.

fat is good, fat is fun,

it's fat pride month,

have another tootsie roll,

another cinnamon bun.
