We need to wake up to the fact that sugar, refined and junk food is killing people. That’s the message of my rap, Fight the Flour, a collaboration with Yousef, Mikkel and Louis.
Most people do not full realise the devastating effect sugar and refined, ultra-processed foods have had on humanity. Covid death number’s pale in comparison. We are, not only talking about more deaths caused by junk food that occurred in the world wars, but this tragedy continues. We didn’t have cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia, ADHD and level of mental illness before shit food took over the world.
But why aren’t we waking up? Because there’s too much money being made from processed foods and by peddling pharmaceutical cures which would be totally unnecessary if we faced the fact that junk food is killing people. Governments are in on it.
The medical profession is unhealthily influenced by big pharma and taught nothing about nutrition. Big farmer has devastated our planet by ignoring the principles of Nature to make cheap, fast food without regard to the consequences. It’s unethical and immoral fraud on a giant scale.
Inspired by the hip hop artists who took their righteous anger into music to change rampant racism I was delighted when my friend and great Blues man Erik Krolle introduced me to Yousef (Lil Diet), an Iranian refugee and great rapper, who improved my lyrics, written to the sound of Public Enemy’s Fight the Power, then cut this song with the help of Mikkel and Louis in Denmark. We hope to inspire a younger generation to ‘say no to drugs and junk food’.
