Inspired by those common dinner table conversations we’ve had with our parents. But oh yes, it gets deeper than that.

I’m full. (I don’t want anymore…)

“Eat up!
Kids in Africa ah cry fi some food!”

Oh Mama,
You’re teaching me to over consume.

I’d rather tell Obama
My pajamas are blue;

And we should take our plates,
And tie ‘um on ta balloons.

I’m no longer hungry.

Please,
Don’t beat me to eat.

Let’s lavish our leftovers,
Send them over the sea!

Of course she didn’t listen.
I’m just only a kid.

So I’m forced to get all fat…
While the world is starving.
