The Funny Country Song About Big Food, Marketing & the Obesity Epidemic

What if your biggest battle with food isn't about willpower at all? "They Keep Feedin' Me" is a funny country song with a serious message about how the modern food industry keeps us eating.

Food isn't just sold anymore. It's engineered, advertised, and placed everywhere we look. This humorous music video takes a lighthearted look at supermarkets, commercials, supersized meals, and the billion-dollar business built around keeping us hungry. Inspired by research into today's food environment, it asks whether we're making choices, or whether those choices are being made for us.

If you've ever walked into a store for toothpaste and walked out with snacks you never planned to buy, this song is for you. Laugh along while taking a fresh look at how marketing, ultra-processed foods, and engineered cravings have transformed the way we eat.
