Conditioned Consumption

Almost everyday we hear about how some processed, refined, pesticide-ridden or over-cooked food has been found to be carcinogenic. Yet people will rarely look at or question their own diet, what they eat and how it's prepared. Despite our lengthy time on earth it has been a relatively short time in the scheme of things that humankind has harnessed fire and used it for cooking, as well as begun to refrigerate, irradiate, and store our food in plastic and glass containers and packaging. We consume a diet of garbage and then pay the price for it. Eat lesser, eat better, eat rawer, eat organic.

conditioned consumption without question

so far removed from nature's laws

it seems we've lost direction

we indulge ourselves with poisons

desecrate ourselves with toxins

and laugh in the face of death for the sake of convenience

we reject the essentials just consume what we like

refined processed contaminants which we've been fed all our lives

excessive packaging waste prepackaged for land fill

we pollute our bodies we destroy the earth

contamination of a sacred temple

we defile ourselves and we wonder why

we are they way we are the way we are

crash course for self destruction

we remove all traces of nutrients that protect us from disease
