What is That All-Natural Shit We’re Eating?

What’s in that cellophane really with its list of polysyllabic ingredients, 35 chemicals long?
Just look at that snack of extruded meat byproducts, blister-packed for your grab and go pleasure
Your nutritional needs as efficiently distributed as any mass produced Chinese Wal*Mart plastic
Ever more clever ways of coloring up hydrogenated oils, corn syrup and lots of good old salt

Says this pre-fab energy bar is ‘All-Natural’ – Well, so is the stuff I flush down the toilet
They pick their cage-grown ‘Atlantic’ salmon’s appetizing color off some chemical salesman’s chart
Their healthy organic produce was groped by illegales with diarrhea and unwashed hands
That juicy hamburg has been profitably extended using internals they used to simply throw away

That factory is full of salmonella, rats and roaches but they call their product peanut butter
Their chicken was raised as humanely as their corpro-exec brothers stamp out outsourced auto parts
How is it that all of that nutritionless shit crowding the many snack aisles could be so fattening?
Look at these happily grazing kids, safely shielded from holocaust-style feed lots and slaughterhouses

Why do you need sawdust fiber and Chinese vitamins if your meals are so healthy and nutritious?
Did you notice the same grimy trucks delivering institutional fodder to all your favorite restaurants?
What really makes you overstuff yourself with those too-bright, agent-orange colored Cheetos?
Ever wonder why the bread is so pusy soft that it rips when you just try to spread some fake butter?

How is it that you prefer sugar-enhanced, artificially-flavored snacks to simple fresh fruits?
What ingredients are preserving those ugly layers of fat swelling your body from head to extremity?
Probably all those pesticides just get washed off and we never eat or retain them either, right?
The mass suffering of our meat animals is invisible beneath their clear and sterile wrappers

Surely it’s rational economics that BigMacs are cheaper than green salads made at home
Un-inspected, off-shored, cost-cutting ingredients surely bring only low price benefits to consumers
What is really important to the dairy industry is more milk output per production unit at lower cost
So they feed them grain they cant digest and shoot them full of antibiotics when they sicken

What was that shit in those colorful plastic wrappers that we find carelessly strewn everywhere?
So you don’t read the nutritional information because you can’t understand it, right?
After all, they didn’t raise their prices, they just silently decreased the contents a little bit
Invisible, but rich, food conglomerate CEOs surely care more about you than say, the bankers

Its not evil to hook and fatten kids on bubbly, nutritionless, black, sugary, caffeinated water
Anyway, what could all those spots be, in that red shit they are calling turkey pepperoni?
Rest assured that cutting costs and raising profits rhymes with safe and healthy food
Don’t think about obscenely large-breasted turkeys who can barely stand, much less ever mate

Ignore pig shit, cow patties and chicken wastes and their doctored contents in your tap water
Don’t ask why they genetically engineer and patent crops to resist their own pesticides
Just listen to their warm messages about feeding the world and ignore their global price fixing
What is that funky bluish shit inside that grease-coated donut you just gobbled yet another one of?

Don’t fret over subsidizing corn syrup to fatten us all up and then having to pay for all our diabetes
So, just what is that poisoned, fatty, mass-produced shit we nervously shovel down day in & day out?
