Hi Calvin,
I must say food was never a favorite subject in lyrics for me, and the images you provide in this is not excactly pastel coloured either.
But I also think that's what's making this real in terms of capturing the subject at hand, so when dealing with the idea of 'trailer trash' you absolutely does not romantizise it in anyway. No escapism here, so I absolutely think you're cutting it to the bone.
You seem to have a whole concept about 'trailer trash' and 'white trash' in the US. I remember Dixie Chick's "White trash wedding" as playing on that concept in a lot more escapist way (adapted for commercial music).
I guess your lyric speaks loud and clear, but can you tell me a little about those "white trash", "trailer trash" images - whats it about?

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
