Obesity

He rocked to his seat with a smile on his face,

As a grease-laden fish a chip plate he eagerly did face.

Obesity is the greatest threat to health world wide.

A hard hitting campaign against it we must decide.

 

Fruit juice is definitely a No ! No !

As into your body too much sugar will go.

Five table-spoonfulls of sugar in one large drink!

Before devouring it stop and think.

 

Juice drinks have been singled out as a serious concern,

Lacking in fibre and high in calories we must learn.

If you are going to drink please dilute,

Or swap it for a real piece of fruit.

 

Food and drink firms promise to make their products more healthy,

But setting out their own rules and making them more wealthy.

For numerous takeaways whom do we have to thank ?

Is Dracula in charge of our blood bank ?

 

Lifted from his table where he had sat,

I can't believe he's eaten all that.

Assisted to the car empty fruit bottle in hand,

Booked in next week for a gastric waist band.
