Living While Under The Influence Of Unhealthy Food
Living under the influence of unhealthy food
Is not a topic that has been frequently chewed
Unlike its well-known friend: alcohol abuse
The unhealthy food topic is more a recluse
In the past food talk centered around a diet
And half of the population would no doubt try it
Thinking that their weight is mostly what matters
Followed by comments that hopefully flatter
Mostly everyone gets sick once in a while
Or had colds of which we all have a large file
But being under the influence of unhealthy food
Is a thought that’s usually far less valued
Bottle and can labels that come from a barrel
List that drinking alcohol may cause some peril
Yet when has a package of food listed in part
Stating: consuming this stuff may be bad for the heart
But don’t think that I’m looking for Fed oversight
There’s too much already that it feels like a blight
No, it’s all about vital self-education
To help reduce poisonous medications
Or having to visit a health center some night
That have popped up everywhere; speaking of blight
This is more of a write, to help bring to the light
That bad food is like getting drunk every night
