The First Lady Won’t Like This

 

By Elton Camp

 

Mrs. Obama, childhood obesity is trying to combat

Because she knows kids won’t live as long if too fat

 

You might think that advertisers would take the hint

A report from Yale University says this how it went

 

Kids and teens are seeing far more soda ads than before

With blacks and Hispanics especially seeing many more

 

Children are sold stuff that’s high sugar, low nutrition

Which will significantly add to their too-fat condition

 

Most experts are convinced that children who are obese

Will develop health problems and their working cease

 

Without incomes, that means that taxes they can’t pay

Which then drives up healthcare costs yet another way

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics had this to say

Highly caffeinated drinks aren’t right for kids, no way

 

The American Beverage Association says this is wrong

They are singled out, when to many blame does belong

 

Children don’t have experience ads to truly analyze

Obesity will grow no matter how hard Obama tries
