Meat pie, pavlova, blueberry pies
In a glass museum....
Right in front of my eyes
Temptations so hard... to resist
So many foods not on my health check list
So many beings, so troubled by weight
Not really breathing life, step by step awaiting fate
We are such A Pickled Society
A museum of fascination for all to see
So many people are so unkind
They stare they offend, they're so out of line
We must not judge and be so cruel
We are all the same just from different schools
So if you are at loss and struggling with your shape
Don't give up. Just get the measuring tape
There is a way with healthy food and gradual exercise
Positive thinking. And... cut the fries
Obesity is an addiction yet it can be mended
Find a way to balance your life
And try hard to not get offended
Smile at you curves and consider your health
You will get so much more from life and gain great wealth
Give your heart a chance and do take care
Live life to the fullest and ignore the stares

A lovely poem with a meaningful message and great advice on how to take care our health. Good health is a foundation of our personality. If we don't have it, we cannot fully enjoy the wonders of existence. Healthy mind and body flow from good health.and eventually good disposition towards life.
a great write and words so true, and it hurts me and you. but what kind of worls would we have if everyone was skinny? then they'd criticize that too.
