what a carb was forty years ago?
glucose,
or soy,
gluten?
who gave a dang
about processed
foods
or sodas,
or sugar?
white bread or whole wheat.
we just ate food and didn't worry
about it too much.
when the belt got
tight
we ate less
walked or ran more,
did some sit ups
with our feet beneath
the bed.
we didn't have that second
helping
of mashed
potatoes
and a giant slice of cake
for dessert.
now i'm standing in an aisle
at Whole Foods
reading the labels
on cans and
packages, worried about
my blood
pressure and cholesterol,
starving
for lasagna and garlic bread.
