why is this fish orange?

nearly
everything has paint in it,
a food
coloring
or dye.
not to mention sugar
and seed oils.
the chips you eat,
reaching
deep into the bag,
look at the stains on your
fingers,
your mouth.
cookies
and cake,
candy.
cereals, each more addictive
than heroin.
the fish
pulled out of the ocean,
the meat
and poultry.
they're sticking needles
into our
food,
jab after jab filling
their veins
with chemicals
so that everything is fatter
and looks
better
for your snacking
pleasure
or candlelight dinners,
all of it gumming
up your heart.
