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

I enjoyed reading your powerful write. To eat or not to eat, that is the question. The real question is, how has our food changes in the last forty years??? There one will find the answer. Fresh is the best... Have a blessed day/week writing away.....................

Really, it's not all that complex: Just avoid the middle section of the supermarkets, where all the processed foods are. Of course, that's easy for me to say. ~ Mister On Da Fringes

Thanks Mister ODF, and we try to avoid that area for sure. Yet, I take those shortcuts when looking for my wife, lol.

"Influence" being the centre of attention here. Can you imagine the meals they serve for the congress persons and senators daily?

Thanks Chris for commenting. Good question about what you feed congress critters and the like; but I wouldn't want to watch the carnage at meal time.

Thanks Pangie, and yes the flatulence police could be a crack troop out there somewhere. I still think it's crazy that many a person far from being retired walk around with a limp or whatever, and if they ate better food, they may have less problems. And, they'd be fit enough to play some disc golf with me, and I admit that's all I want, lol.
