FOWC: Label

While shopping for your dinner table

Ever stop to read the label

Of that extra special sauce

I doubt you do because. . .

“Simply” put is not the case

Ingredients we try to chase

Unless you have a google app

Deciphering what lies in the gaps

Such as this one on a sporting drink

That little soccer kids will drink:

Bold ones such as vitamins B3, 6, and 12

Sodium, potassium, calcium; then delve

Into the fine print, you will see

Water, fructose corn syrup, calcium chloride

Gum acacia and ascorbic acid to provide

For flavor and color protection

Makes you think with this detection

What exactly does your child need

And what ingredient labels you should read.
