Horace Silver's 1972 album, Total Response, included a track, Old Mother Nature Calls, that sounds like something RFK, Jr. might agree with today (please don't share this track with him). One reviewer called the album a "sprawling, incoherent, and just plain weird mess of funk, fusion, soul-jazz, African spirituality, and hippie mysticism."
My point is that even 53 years ago, we were aware of the problems with ultra-processed food, additives, and pesticides. It's hippie bullshit but it's true.
Our water isn't pure
When fluoride we endure.
The air we breathe so free
Is treated chemically.
The food we eat today
Is filled with toxic spray.
The hormones that they add
Will slowly drive you mad.
The natural foods are best
So when you're able
Read the label.
The food refinery
Will bring you misery
If they can put in use
More chemical abuse.
When eating don't bе rude
Be sure to chеw your food.
Your thoughts are in a bind
Relax your tired, tired mind.
Your organs need a rest
From grinding all that mess.
With fasting you will find
Its inner cleaning time.
Old mother nature calls
Make ready for her
Don't ignore her
The sun has energy
It shines for you and me.
Your body, your body sits and cries
Why don't you exercise?
