Are Fast Food Joints To Blame For Obese Kids
Fast Food Joints to Blame for Obese Kids?
By Elton Camp
McDonald’s is sometime singled out for blame
Of other similar places we can claim the same
Their food is filled with calories, fat and salt
And to eat such worthless tripe, nobody ought
But to say this is the main reason kids are fat
It would be very hard to go along with that
Ronald McDonald doesn’t drag them in the door
And say, “Eat our fattening food and nothing more.”
It is the parents alone who have the right to decide
That to the fast-food place, kids they’ll take a ride
It is only reasonable and sensible that we expect
Little ones will eat the type food that parents direct
And there are now far better offering to decide
Not just hamburgers and some salty, greasy side
So the blame for obesity let’s put in the right place
If a little kid’s too fat, it is to the parents’ disgrace
