Do you really know what you’re eating?
Do you know where it all comes from?
That Mc Donald’s, ” Big Mac” burger
There may be more hidden under that sesame seed bun.
More than fats and flavor
More than old, ” Bessie”, the cow.
Sure they’ll make it your way
They’ll make more for you, and how!
Fries and shakes just wasted calories
Making most of our nation FAT!
Hold the burger and give me a salad
Still hidden dangers with that!
What ever happened to home cooked meals?
Doesn’t anyone know how to cook these days?
And have talks around the dinner table
And hands folded to pray.
Have we become a world of, “Fast Food Junkies? ”
With no time to even cook, talk or sit?
Drive through cars all backed up
Unwrapping papers from their mystery burger
Most looking so over-weight and so un-fit.
