Food Pyramid Mania

Music and lyrics by Paul Nordquist
From the album, "Garden Variety"

I wish she didn't talk about nutrition during dinner
And if she weren't flipping through the food count book
And saying "Wow! That's a winner"
That would make my day
That would be a dream come true

I know it's in a black-and-white box on the back
But I hate this game of nutrition facts
Pitting yours against mine, line by line
I can save you some time
'Cause the one you give me
Always happens to be the loser

And your shopping cart victory dance is immature
It's just a case of Food Pyramid Mania
Nutrition's not complete unless you play it while you eat
Food Pyramid Mania
You ask so many questions that it ruins my digestion
I complain, but in vain
There's no way to restrain ya
Food pyramid, food pyramid, mania mania mania

I hope she'll quit telling me her plans for the quiz show
If it ever gets made I won't be a contestant
If it comes on I'm changing the channel
I won't play along with the home game
I won't even sing along with the theme song

Food Pyramid Mania
Nutrition's not complete unless you play it while you eat
Food Pyramid Mania
You ask so many questions that it ruins my digestion
If I can I'll get is banned
In the state of Pennsylvania
Food pyramid, food pyramid, mania mania mania
