The Menu

Pig feet, hog maws, chitterlings, yams, greens and cornbread, These are some of the things that our bodies are being fed. Fat back, ribs, neck bones, macaroni and cheese; Our hearts and arteries are crying, please, please, please. Buttered rice, succulent greasy peas and a thin-layered chocolate cake, We keep pumping this in our bodies, so what is it going to take. Hypertension, high cholesterol, or maybe even a heart attack, To get us from eating these fatty foods and help us to face facts. We have heard the old saying "You are what you eat." More than half of the time our diets are incomplete. We need to eat a well-balanced meal from the four food groups, And every day at least five vegetables and fruit. Drink eight glasses of water to help keep your system clean, And one other food product that will provide some protein. A little exercise and a good amount of rest, Each of us is different, for you; you know what 's best. This is not said to scold you, nor is it to criticize; It is only put here to give you some healthy advice. If we don't adjust the way that we are eating; Sooner, rather than later our Master we will be meeting.
