Poetry: Food

by Kimberley Linstruth-Beckom

Created on: January 12, 2009

Food Labels

Fifty percent less fat
Than the regular
With no hydrogenated oils,
Preservatives or cholesterol
Stand out for attention.
Vanilla cake with
Mystery words are out of the mix.
Fair trade cup of the old Joe's kind has perks and
Salt of the sea and sauce of the soy
With red wine, balsamic, and rice vinegar,
Make a splash in my book.
Macaroni of the bleached kind
Is now discriminated against
The dark wheat kind,
And yet some
Wheat Thins really aren't
What they claim.
It all comes down to a label
Because nothing processed
Is something gained.
