The man's food is supposed to be the prime way to eat today. I choose to say no to "The Man's Food" that they encourage every man to eat these days. I find I become healthier and stronger by eating
basic foods and drinking good old
water. To see the difference we need only to look at the physical changes between people today and our ancestors. They endured so much and stayed strong and hearty.
The Man’s Food
What did your lean, limber ancestors eat
That gave them strength and stamina
Mothers so strong they hardly needed a horse
To pull the plow and till the land
Bones like steel, they stood tall and strong

Basic food for strength and vitality[/caption]
With heart and muscles hard like a range bull
And they made the steel
Dug the coal and drilled for the oil
And fought the wars
I see by your round faces and hefty bodies
Muscles marbled with fat like a well fed steer
That you eat The Man’s food
And your children eat this processed stuff
In the nice school lunch program

The corporate food chemists do a fine job
It’s flavored, colored, and sweetened
Enticing the diner to eat more and more
They wash it down with fat producing milk
While you say how wonderful it tastes
And the nice government says
Drink it brother, drink it down—it’s free
They ate the fish and the fowl and the rabbit
They ate the greens and cabbages and beans
And they grew strong and they smiled
Also, they were proud—as they peered around
They asked no man for a handout
And liked what they saw
They didn’t eat The Man’s food
No! You can say
Like my great grandfather did
I’ll seek out the basic food
I’ll wash it down with good plain water
As I think about my strength and stamina
I’ll teach my offspring to not dawdle

Good bacon will provide fat for energy[/caption]
Cabbages are kings
I’ll re-learn to like them
They built strong bodies
And I’ll stand proud
Like my ancestors
I’ll not eat The Man’s processed food
