Genesis 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.
Too bad Mr. Potato Head, plants are food for us, as well as ever living creature given to us by the creator. So kids, shut up and eat your broccoli, boiled okra (yuk!), and the rest of those potatoes on your plate.
Agree re: boiled, but fried is pretty yummy! I can hear the little okra pieces scream as they hit the frying pan.
