Cows eat grass and Bats eat fruit
The sly old fox… Don’t give a hoot
Birds eat worms and Cats eat mice
Human Beings are not so nice
We eat stuff… controlled by money
Full of things that’s not so funny…

Thats why they call it junk food...it is still our choice to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and baked or grilled fish, poultry and lean meats and less junk food...for example, Burger King has a delicious grilled chicken salad...James

I eat pretty much the same types of foods as James does. When I eat healthy ~ I feel healthy.

I also enjoy soy foods and drinks.

I am very sorry to say that considering eating habits it comes down to social classes

The lowest classes consuming the most junk food

It is partly due to cultural capital and passed down modes of operation


But I have to say (Don`t crucify me)

It sounds like a middle-class rip-off...

Jars all tightly packed with E's
Salmonella from deep freeze.
Shrink wrapped fish that tastes like crab
iradiated in a lab.
Vegetables with new genes
'organic', is that shite it means

Now social class must take the blame
for upper classes arn't the same
Their cultural capital you know
feeds caviar (is that fish roe?)
But please God help the middle class...
Did that 'rip off' come from their ass?

The point here is ... does EVERYBODY get something to eat?
Ever seen those poor souls searching for something in the mountains of accumulated rubbish/garbage? And there are those who don't even blush speaking of classes ... We are all guilty!

And you are right however, that we are also victims of marketing laws!!

And James also is right, we are lucky, because we have the choice.

May everybody have the choice!

Love,
Margherita
