You Are What You Eat | Formidable Vegetable | Healthy Soil Healthy Food Song

#permaculture #kids #soil #food #animation
Did you know that people know more about outer space than they do about soil? Soil is where pretty much all land-based life starts and where most of our food comes from. There are so many things we can do to take care of it and it's time to stop looking up, messing around and freakin' out so that we can get on down to tending the ground we live on!
Written by Formidable Vegetable in celebration of International Year of Soils and declared by the United Nations as the 'Official Song for Soil' in 2016: www.instagram....

Lyrics:
You are what you eat
And you are what what you eat eats
And you’re even what what what you eat eats eats
Here’s a clue, why don’t you
Take a peek beneath your feet
If you want to know what you're made from
Look at what what you're made from's made from
Cos the stuff that we're all made from is the same
Yeah we goes from dust to dust
So gotta just trust that upper crust
And maintain that good terrain from whence you came
We’ve been looking up
We’ve been messing ‘round
We’ve been freakin' out
But it’s time to get
Down, down, down
Cos we’re made up
of common ground
Can’t live without it
And it's time to get
Down, down, down, down, down
When you flirt with the dirt
You’ll observe it's certainly not inert
From a worm to a chicken
“Bok Begerk!”
You’re never alone on the loam
and it’s time to get to work!
We’ve been looking up
We’ve been messing ‘round
We’ve been freakin' out
But it’s time to get
Down, down, down
Cos we’re made up
Of common ground
Can’t live without it
And it's time to get
Down, down, down, down, down
You are what you eat
And you are what what you eat eats
And you’re even what what what you eat eats eats
And it repeats, it repeats, it repeats.
Down, down, down
