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?
