Blue Cross vs. ADM
High fructose corn syrup for the obese

Why pay Archer Daniels Midland
    to help us add more weight
To our buttocks and our bellies?
    No exercise? It's what we ate!

They'll argue we've no self-control.
    Of course that isn't true,
And Fruit Loops with their sweet'ners
    are an epicurean breakthrough –

So if you know a fatty bum-bum
    whose goal is diabetes,
Have them supplement their Fruit Loops
    with some fructose flavored Wheaties.

They'll be adding to the subsidies
    Congress pays to ADM,
Until obesity's a fate
    even Blue Cross will condemn.

When underwriting's done away with
    and most ev'ryone's insured,
Even fatty bum-bums whom
    the giant ADM has lured

To a sweetener addiction
    health insurers will deplore,
They'll find we must be treated –
    not rejected as before.
