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.
