The First Lady Won'T Like This

The First Lady Won’t Like This By Elton Camp Mrs. Obama, childhood obesity is trying to combat Because she knows kids won’t live as long if too fat You might think that advertisers would take the hint A report from Yale University says this how it went Kids and teens are seeing far more soda ads than before With blacks and Hispanics especially seeing many more Children are sold stuff that’s high sugar, low nutrition Which will significantly add to their too-fat condition Most experts are convinced that children who are obese Will develop health problems and their working cease Without incomes, that means that taxes they can’t pay Which then drives up healthcare costs yet another way The American Academy of Pediatrics had this to say Highly caffeinated drinks aren’t right for kids, no way The American Beverage Association says this is wrong They are singled out, when to many blame does belong Children don’t have experience ads to truly analyze Obesity will grow no matter how hard Obama tries

Good point, but still, I'd rather live in this land of the fat than in some other land of the starved.

Hey John, Thanks for reading and commenting. I'd sure hate to live where starvation is a strong possibility as is true in some spots. The main point I meant to make is how greedy big business is, even to the point of peddling their most unhealthy wares directly to children who are more easily influenced than adults. Elton
