Well, they do use up more land to grow than grasshoppers and micro greens...

We used to play the heck out of the later live version of that on "Just Another Band from LA".

Call Any Vegetable

You will eat zee bugs but not zee potatoes.

As a gringo of Irish heritage I find this message offensive, raisist and culinarily suspect.

Oh yeah, the ones who said that Ketchup is a vegetable.

That is after the libs attacked the Reagan administration for claiming that same thing.

True. Still, not a good option for diabetics or pre-diabetics.

This could get violent. You don’t mess with the National Potato Council. You just don’t.

We were at a kid-friendly brewery this afternoon and we ate mostly appetizers with a few main meals thrown in. (Along with some chicken strips), I sampled tater-tots, French fries and house chips. Three different food groups.

Ketchup is just tomato gravy.

"We already have a vegetable in the White House, though."

Hmmm.. I think it's another one of those "Hard to classify" kind of things.. Sometimes he certainly appears to be a absolute veggie, and at other times a real fruit for sure... (?)

They grow in the earth.

They are not a grain.

They are a vegetable.

Beets, carrots, turnips, and radishes are quaking in their roots in fear that they will be reclassified as grains.

But tomatoes are rejoicing in the hope that they will finally gain their rightful place in the fruit family.

The fact that Europe quit starving after the potato arrived and they started eating them is a stone cold fact.

People to this day leave potatoes on the grave of Fredrick the Great in recognition of the fact that he promoted their cultivation and so kept his people fed.

So the “meat” category has been replaced by “proteins”?

I feel that Sesame Street song coming on: “One of these things is not like the others...”
