When you go to the grocery store, you find that the cheapest calories are the ones that are going to make you the fattest - the added sugars and fats in processed foods.

Foods high in bad fats, sugar and chemicals are directly linked to many negative emotions, whereas whole, natural foods rich in nutrients - foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes - contribute to greater energy and positive emotions.

Fats
Check out fats, hes a real cool cat
Hes got a black and white tux with lots of class
He says, I love that jazz. I love that razz-ma-tazz. i love to swing.
I just go crazy when you give me room to do my thing. thats fats
Well, check out fats, hes a real cool cat
Hes got bright white spats and sharp dark trilby hat
Hes got a chick thats slick and I like her looks
And I like the way her lipstick, it matches the carnation on his tux
I love his jazz, I love his style, it makes me feel so nice
Oh fats, wont you play for ma a while? thats fats
Oh well, sigmund freud, he gets very annoyed
He was checking out fats and waller just dont like that cat
He said, I dont like his looks, I dont like his fashion.
I love his jazz, I love his style, it makes me feel so nice
Oh fats, wont you play for me a while? not that fats
Hes such a real cool cat, thats fats. nobody plays that jazz, not like fats

Mind Your Calories!
Avoid extra calories;
Take no chance to turn obese;
Burn more calories in you;
Be active and joyful too.
Use the stairs and not the lift;
Exercise well, stay most fit;
Walk for health, some miles at dawn;
To do things the hard way- Learn.
Do your daily chores yourself;
Keep empty your fridge, food-shelf;
Enter house by the back-door;
Sit for less hours, walk some more.
Walk uphill whenev’r you can;
Eat less; work more for health, man;
Use the ramp, avoid plain floor;
Lazy mind makes life a bore.
Fast-foods, never take at all;
Eat lesser starch, consume dhal;
Drink more water if you can;
Work hard and stay healthy, man.
Extra food can poison you;
Fat lessens your life-span too;
Count your calories you take;
Life is worth-while, if you make!

My Sugar So Sweet
Yes, mama - yes, girl
Hear me calling you
So sweet, so sweet
My sugar's so sweet
My baby dont you go
Aint seen my little sugar come home
So sweet, so sweet
My sugars so sweet
But my baby shed long gone
But Ive seen her - I must've been doing her wrong
So sweet, so sweet
My sugars so sweet
See my baby, dont act so smart
Ill cut out your liver, and eat your heart
So sweet, so sweet
My sugars so sweet
Yes, mama - yes, girl
Hear me calling you
So sweet, so sweet
My sugars so sweet

The Night A Processed Pea Took Out A Canned Tomato
The stars were shining bright
upon the night
a processed pea took out a canned tomato.
They took a look in at the Apple,
got all hung up on a Christmas tree.
The canned tomato started to wobble
and nearly squashed the processed pea.
They dropped out to stay alive
clearing away before the Beatles did arrive.
On the way back to the shop
they met up with a gooseberry
who joined them on the ground floor
in an eye full of sherry
for it was Christmas Day.
It seemed to be a lovely date,
unfortunately they couldn’t stay,
and had to retreat to their cases
before it was too late.
Author’s Note:
I have no idea of the exact date this bit of nonsense was written in the 1960’s. I know it was written shortly after The Beatles set up their company Apple. I was working in a grocery warehouse at the time, hence the mention of the vegetables. I can only assume it was written near Christmas.

26 Calories
His kiss is like heaven, once you go there you'll never live again
You'll love it and you'll crave it, you'll want to have him
You'll never care about anything else
And you'll never end up searching for someone else
Take a deep breath so this kiss can last longer
And hold your breath, to make you feel stronger
Now close your eyes and move in for the kill
And never look back for as long as you will
Because here is how a true kiss should be
So why don't you burn 26 calories with me
(a one minute kiss burns 26 calories)

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.
A Fight For Your Life!
The super alien spies are all from Mars an’ bugger
By god they masquerade as coloured sugars,
An’ even name a chockie bar after their planet
Then cross the oceans on the back of a gannet
When you’re a youthful twenty
And live the life of plenty.
You think your body is invincible,
The enemy loves every part of your body
Aliens attach their weapons around you
To wear you and your heart apart,
Very clever to disguise their weapons as fat
Not just ordinary fat but wobbly jellified weapons
To fill your jeans an’ make you look full o beans.
This woeful plot the aliens ply for your heart to attack you
An’ die; don’t be fooled with those coloured sugars.
Run for your life buy some joggers an’ walk from the buggers
The irony is when you walk, those alien dormant sugars
Are forced from the tum to the leg muscles for power to kick those aliens In the butt and get you healthy wealthy and wise.
You see the light?
Get up from the couch and rise Sir Healthy Lot!

Jesus Was An Alien
Never survive at your no-go grocery store
And if you believe that boy will sit down and I will
Tell you more
Lee harvey oswald, well you know he had to have known
Charlie manson, only wanted to make his house a home
Chorus:
Jesus was an alien, flying through space
God was an astronaut, who said boy, I like your face
So the story begins...
Girl I love you, well the check is in the mail
Found religion inside myself, I drank the blood, the
Flesh was stale
Reach in your pockets and give us all you can
Know the one thats going to heaven, is gonna be the
Richer man
(chorus) x 2
I see ya shakin boy, do ya find it hard to believe
That the one you been living for would cut your wrists
To watch you bleed
Found out the truth is a lie, and it makes you feel
Unwell
Say the church of all mighty God is all we have to
Save us from hell
(chorus) x 2
If you find some error in the lyrics,
Would you please submit your corrections to me? thank
You.

It slows down grocery shopping, because so many women at the store watch the show. I always end up talking to two or three people every time I go to Ralphs. It's fun.

Toss The Coin
On a bus ride home
Or down a grocery store aisle,
You might meet
The most enticing lover
Of your transient life
Or encounter the hands
That will grip your throat
And extinguish your existence.

I thought about that the other day after I went to the grocery store and had to sign fifteen autographs before leaving. On one hand, it's just so flattering. On the other hand, sometimes it would be nice to get the bread and leave, you know?

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.
