We eat when we are sad,

We eat when in depreesion,

We eat when we are lonely,

We eat when we are bored,

Piling on the calories

And as we piling them on,

We sit so sedentary 

In our rooms at home.

It’s becoming a real problem 

In the prosperous western world,

Where  obesity has become 

Our new disease, a new curse,

While hunger is a problem 

In the third world,

This balance is not good

This balance is not fair,

Half the world eat food for need

Is this not absurd,

Because the other half  eat out of emotion

Out of  simple boredom and greed,

Eating far more than they really ever need.

We need to learn only to eat what we need,

We need to learn to curb our greed,

We need to start doing more

And start burning calories,

Because calories times sedentary equals obesity.
