They came to eat

The doors opened wide
Here they came
They came to the Fair
They came to eat
Smiling promoters offered free samples
They rushed forward
Took and put in their mouths
“Nice, thank you” they said.
And moved to the next stall.
They had forgotten the health advice
“Less sugar, less salt, less oil”
Most foods sold at the fair are processed foods
Processed foods deep-fried, a lot of oil, salt and sugar.
They did not care
As long as the food was nice
Of course they would not leave empty handed
They bought bags of unhealthy processed foods.
They took another step toward poor health
They are now a step closer to clinic or hospital.
Eat is more important
Couldn’t care less
