In English towns I’ve mainly seen obese,
Unfortunately, the same is true in Venice,
High loads glycemic cause most of the increase,
Milled rice, white bread, and pastries are a menace.
Sweet sodas and large juices are not wise.
Corn rolled or flaked promotes large body size,
Fat guys with bulging bellies and thick thighs,
Drink countless beers with pizzas and French fries.
Fast food, for fatness, is a major influence.
No roughage in the meals to slow digestion,
Food’s high in carbs, and eaten all at once,
Satiation comes too late to raise a question.
Poor people’s bellies show the greatest spread,
Cheap foods are white rice, French fries, and sweet bread.
