When It's Okay to Feed Your Children Poison

Oscar Meyer hot dogs,
a tube of meats and compounds-
one is sodium nitrite;
a neuro-toxin, true....
But Oscar says it's safe
so it must be okay,
no harm to me or you?
Uncooked, yes...quite benign- go ahead, ingest!
But heat, ah heat...amines it meets within the meats
to form anew
this little beaut called
N-nitroso- (a carcinogen, so proved).
Now that sounds nasty (and it is)-
Pancreatic Cancer,
a term ill contrived to soothe.
But hey there Mom, no worries please,
Your kid's love 'em eat 'em buy the dozen
and wow! A dollar off!
Coupon discount- poison rebate-
money saved, kid's no complaint...
win-win except for the poison cancer early death thing-
hush! We need to stretch our bucks.
Saving money by eating poison-
that logic really sucks.

Yep, definitely! I did not misconstrue any meaning by the title at all. I was thinking exactly what this poem is about when I saw it.
You're only speaking the truth but the people who buy and eat them either don't care or don't believe it! "Oh everything gives you cancer. Whatever."
Very well penned.
Thank you,
Tim |

really love this.. so much we don't think about yet should... reminds me of when I was about to leave home the first time and my mom bought the first microwave I ever used. Oh how I marveled at it, watching the food cook so quickly... it was in plastics that become toxic to your genes possibly causing a one or maybe more to mutate...
but what did I know back then>>: great should be explained more than it seemingly isn't.
I'm there Invierno, love poetry that is thoughtful and teaches. No I don't need to freedom not to be taxed when I buy sugary sweet soda.
No no no. I need something better than.
Thanks man!
Peace! |

| This is one of my bug bears and I agree whole hearted lay with the strong message in your poem. Cancer cases are going to increase dramatically not helped by what is in our food and the packaging it comes in. |
