No Mis-steak

A brand-new pyramid’s been built,
Which might give us conniptions,
But this one’s made by just one man
Instead of the Egyptians.

Unlike the older version, which
Endorsed a healthy diet,
This time we’re pushed to eat red meat,
Though vegans may not buy it.

Aside from steak and burgers,
Whole milk cheese and foods like that,
We’re being told we should indulge
In saturated fat.

The Heart Association thinks
This puts us on the track
For many more Americans
To have a heart attack.

But hey – this is our country now,
A topsy-turvy land,
With lunatics and blowhards
And their minions in command.
