May I ask you if you like the way your food tastes
When it has been seasoned with industrial wastes?
With how many chemicals has your meal been laced?
Caution tape on our bodies is a grim foretaste.

Thank you for reading and commenting. It is actually part of a longer poem. I wrote the long version then realized that I had misread the directions.

Superb
An excellent satirical write about a very important topic. Humor often makes a point better than a serious piece. -

This is part of a slightly longer poem that I was working on. I really need to learn directions. I thought the request was for 10 lines. I will finish it after the contest.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and commenting.
