Too Much of a Bad Thing



Like herbicides and pesticides
and other chemical deterrents advertized
to keep certain foods looking perfect
and free of any blemish or defect
will in time (like any other crime)
increase the grower’s wealth
but decrease the consumer’s health.
The result? World-wide suicides offering
the only sane alternative to suffering.
