(Bu$ine$$)
say [inserted: the] dieticians
I know conglomerate America will hate me for this
I need our citizens to know that sugar and salt are
the worst poisons for your body,
for our bodies. Not to mention SACCHARIN-
POISON FOR RATS. What possible case can
it find in our toothpaste
or anywhere
else
for that matter? Or is it that business man has invested
heavily in it and needs to recuperate his
investment? Pity the [inserted: unknowing] ignorant consumer &
the
poor,
uninformed
unknowing.
