China’s growing tomatoes

China’s growing tomatoes
Enough to fill the world
In Xin Jiang it’s happening
Tomato paste it be
Genetically modified with soya starch
That’s not declared we see
Vast amounts of gm powder
No where is it declared
Heinz ketchup and so much more
Really it’s an all out war

In Italy and Spain
Tomato growers
Still a few places grow tomatoes
They
Basically grow the specialities and more
The rest come in from China
In fact more and more

And now Africa is growing
Tomato paste ships loads
Along with all that soya
Down really dusty roads
Cheap Labour packaging tins and jars
Everywhere we go migrant workers paid so little
Really in the flow
