Dying For That Ten Percent
It's one point five the tons of food we humans eat each year;
Not sure if that includes our swilling coffee, tea, and beer;
A problem that, as we can't eat much more in quantity;
And population is quite stable – deaths, less births, you see.So how's a buddy to make money, ten percent each year?
If we can't boost our volumes higher, ’cept those coming here;
But then it seems we are quite lazy, busy, spoiled, and fat –
So like to have things done for us – we pay a lot for that.Thus, processed foods are our solution to this complex fix –
Each year it’s ten percent more done to fancy up each dish;
It's “prep’d and frozen”, “just add water”, “baked with added scent”;
Thus we are dying as we bank our yearly ten percent.navigation
