Nutrition and Shame

Look at that boy, he's skin and bones
What are you feeding him? He needs to grow
The child can't flourish on rice alone
Let me make him a plate, trust me I know

Protein and gristle makes a savory combo
Stare and watch him eat, watch him chew, watch him grow

Fried pork
Fried egg
Fried noodles

Look at that girl, she's wasting away
What kind of man wants an insubstantial waif?
Are you questioning me? Do you doubt the wisdom of age?
Let me at her, let me make her a plate

Protein and gristle makes a savory combo
Stare and watch her eat, watch her chew, watch her grow

Fried pork
Fried egg
Fried steak
