A new generation is fast emerging

Fed on what is called junk food.

Asthma, obesity, blood pressure,

Heart disease, and endless list of

Other ailments are vying with one

Another for our constant attention.

Enslaved by unhealthy food habits,

We refuse to face the facts for fear

That we will have to give up many

Of our favorite foods and snacks.

Stale food in packets and pouches,

Fast food made from adulterated

Ingredients, items fried in oil which

Is repeatedly boiled and blackened.

Junk food does not kill us instantly.

It is slow poison which sure will kill

Over time. A sick body is welcome

Habitat for many bacteria and viruses.

Many medicines and pills consumed

Have their side effects .Though they

Give a temporary relief, they kill

Man much earlier than his time, after

A sickly and miserable existence.

Though our body is open to many

Kinds of attacks form outside, it

Need not be so in the case of food.

It is within our control and choice.

Let us not be described as a Junk

Generation by the succeeding ones.
