Why Not to Have That Hamburger

By Elton Camp

Of course I like the taste of hamburger just fine
But in here, to explain why to avoid it, I’m tryin’
One burger can contain dioxin 300 times more 
Than the “safe” level that doctors already deplore 

Hamburgers are usually eaten along with other things
And from them, fries, and soft drinks, obesity springs
Beef’s high price causes the rainforests destruction
To make more room for profitable cattle production

When a rainforest is cut the soil cover disappears
It becomes worthless after grazing only two years
The constant pounding of cattle hoofs on the ground
Destroys plant roots that make the soil stay around

Because of winds and storms, the soil then won’t stay
And a desert will appear once it has been blown away
Because raising cattle uses up such vast amounts of grain
Not enough to feed millions of humans does then remain

And E. coli 0157:H7 gets into the burger from cow feces
And the deadly bug is the cause, in humans, of disease
The fast-food joint has now become a modern sweatshop
And has brought back conditions in the 20s we did stop

Advertising encourages kids to eat too much animal fat
And will bring serious health consequences due to that
About any beef product it is difficult to say much good
But especially hamburger, please avoid all who would
