Warning, may cause cancer.

Warning, may cause cancer.

Carcinogenic meats gather in festive delights behind holiday treats, pink and inviting slices of healthy ham, that's what we see.

A sprinkle of sodium nitrate, a dash of bacterial spores, sends us into a palatel frenzy, wanting more and more.

WHO shall state that this meat is unsafe for human consumption, labels far to late for the mass of colorectal cancer churning inside

I've already died.

A tumor of proccesed meat, ageing, festering within me delivered by the brown envelopes circling within the meat industry.

Industrialised livestock is what we've become, harvesting the growth of human ingnorance for the love of dead flesh, but do you know that we are knawing on rotting teeth, torn ligaments and cold pig feet.

I see the now and the now is bleak, as we continue to feast on neatly packaged slices of carcinogenic meat.

Awesome write Gerard. I have to say though, I love eating meat and don't spend time worrying about its affects.

I've done far worse things that are bad for my health. Maybe one day I'll clean up act.
