You Didn't Teach It, So I Will
Location
There are many things
Important things we never
Discussed in the schools
Math, science, English
All are quite fantastic, yes
What about the other things?
Things we didn't learn
And proper eating habits?
Proper nutrition?
I never learned them
Growing up when I was young
And I had to suffer
I was a victim
I wasn't educated
You never taught me
You never taught me
About the media and
How they affect us
You never taught me
About minerals, proteins
Vitamins, fiber
You never taught me
To not be affected by
How the media
Shapes our minds, culture
They shape our expectations
For body image
I wish you told me
I had anorexia
I was fooled by them
I am better now
That is now why I study
Nutrition science
But now all I can
Do is educate people
To teach them myself
I'll change the system
I will include nutrition
I will give TEDtalks
I will use my skills
My scientific knowledge
And language skills
I'll reach more people
I speak Japanese and French
Kids who were like me
I want to teach them
The world, about nutrition
About media
To not listen to
The media that is fueled
Only by huge greed
Healthy perspectives
That is what we should teach
I'll make it happen
