vegetables

What is marriage if not a man and woman?

Imagine if we open our minds to new possibilities in food definitions. Apples, spaghetti and chocolate could all be called vegetables if we are capable of modern thought and disregard silly traditions of the past. All food deserves to be vegetables. Besides tomatoes are a fruit of the tomato plant anyway so many fruits really are vegetables and vegetables are fruit so the restrictive language of the past need no longer apply. Plus broccoli and brussel sprouts were never really good examples of things that people would want to eat anyway. No cucumbers will be harmed if we allow the definition of vegetable to evolve. The food harassment needs to end, allowing all edible things to enjoy the full rights denied them for thousands of years. It’s time for all food to have an equal place at the table.

How does that change things? Does it really matter? Are vegetables changed because fruit can now be a vegetable? Aren’t they still healthy? Words are just words and why is the government involved in defining adequate nutrition or food and drug standards anyway? The food pyramid represents control and tyranny. Stop hating food.

Stop discriminating and go eat your vegetables. (And by that I mean cookies.)
