once fresh wholesome food
processed parcels for purchase
wear pretty wrappers
　
choices abundant
manufactured sustenance
quality devoid
　
higher standards sought
detour past pop art pantries
in search of real fare

    Oh the lure of fast food .. your haiku triptych reminds us buying/eating/cooking 'fresh' is best.

    Have my "own" version of fastfood - making bigger portions and freeze them down for a day you either have less tim or no energy to cook.

    An interesting form. A continual flow of thought, yet each haiku can stand on it's own, A very clever reference to Warhol, with "pop art pantries". Well done, once again.

    Great poem. I so prefer fresh over processed, but could someone else cook it please? Wait, that's what they do with processed food. And I can't go out to a restaurant every day. Oh, maybe I'll go the raw food route. Wait, except for greens and fruit I don't like raw food. Don't like cooking either. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    A skilled observation. Thank you.

    And I wish someone would put that upside down can in the top row right way up.

    "small victory won" is still victory. I like that, and nice shot too. Love the leaves in the sky.
