The Lyrics
For a special someone who's been very tolerant as I've resisted joining her in her vegan diet. Thanks to Royce Miller for the idea of using this tune.
Consider your health...
Eat fruit!
Consider your health...
Lap up your leafy greens!
I don't want to bash
Meat foods, but who knew Atkins would die so soon?!?!
Consider your health...
No milk!
Consider your health...
Cut out the sour cream!
I don't want to take
Your cheese, but please ease up on the old 'dairies'!
If you insist on eating animals like cannibals,
Add a leaf or two at least!
For just a little spill of chlorophyll will fill the bill
'Til you're giving up the beast!
You know you can get proteins
From legumes and leafs and beans,
So, til you're very berry vegetarian
Consider your health...
Eat some greens!
Eat fruit!
Consider your health...
Lap up your leafy greens!
I don't want to bash
Meat foods, but who knew Atkins would die so soon?!?!
Consider your health...
No milk!
Consider your health...
Cut out the sour cream!
I don't want to take
Your cheese, but please ease up on the old 'dairies'!
If you insist on eating animals like cannibals,
Add a leaf or two at least!
For just a little spill of chlorophyll will fill the bill
'Til you're giving up the beast!
You know you can get proteins
From legumes and leafs and beans,
So, til you're very berry vegetarian
Consider your health...
Eat some greens!

If you were parodying the militant vegan lifestyle, then bravo. If you practice what you preach, then, well, stick to your West Side Story/Fiddler crossovers.
More of a message song than a parody, but it's a great message and very cleverly executed. 555 d;:^)
A relative of mine came off very badly on the Atkins diet, and now I can't be bothered with drastic diets such as that.
This is FAB, Leo...surprised I've never seen it before. =)
