STOP FEEDING ME YOUR BULLSH*T

Tishana Joy Trainor

every time I hear a commercial

telling me milk does my body good

i become physically ill

every time i see signs for

Whopper with cheese

i wanna throw up

i am lactose intolerant

i am also bullsh*t intolerant

doctors told my parents

to keep feeding me the milk

even though dairy made me ill

and my parents felt obligated

for the sake of my health

i suffered for years

being forced to

drink the milk

eat the cheese

and even though I liked yogurt

it still tore me up

one day i got over it

when I heard myself tell my children to

drink the milk

eat the cheese

and i was buying yogurt

i put it all back

researched alternatives

found out it wasn't meant for us

and cut that bullsh*t out

as our health improved

i vowed to never let the pressures of media

affect my health or

the health of my children

drinking 3 glasses of cow's milk

can't help you lose weight

eating cheese on your salad or yogurt

can't help you slim your waist down

it's all bullsh*t

don't drink the milk

don't eat the cheese

don't buy the yogurt

don't believe the media hype
