on sugar and tv.
processed meat.
big bowls of Fruit Loops
and sodas.
the dentist made
a fortune
on our little teeth.
like mice
we were made happy
by the grub
bought cheap.
there was no food
pyramid.
no doctor saying eat this.
just boxes and plastic
bags
filled with empty
treats.
there were coupons
and vouchers,
church handouts,
food stamps,
and starch
filled recipes.
our bellies ached
as she lay
on the couch without
sleep.
