Vegetables deplete soil. They're extractive. If soil has a bank account, vegetables make the largest withdrawals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Vegetables, which are the lowest in the scale of living things, are fed by roots, which, implanted in the native soil, select by the action of a peculiar mechanism, different subjects, which serve to increase and to nourish them.
I'm not here to say I don't eat vegetables - I do, a lot of them - but, from a soil perspective, they're actually more costly than a cow grazing on grass.
Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.
We need to take vegetables out of the role of side dish, even in low-fat, vegetarian diets, whose calories are generally derived mainly from grains and other starches.
To suggest that organic vegetables, which cost far more than conventional produce, can feed billions of people in parts of the world without roads or proper irrigation may be a fantasy based on the finest intentions. But it is a cruel fantasy nonetheless.
I grow the vegetables my family eats. I grow enough, and we seldom buy from the market.
I don't eat vegetables. I only eat food like cheeseburgers, Spam, hot dogs and pizza.
We've gotten so far away from our food source. It's been hijacked from us. But if you get soil, plant something in it and water it, you can feed yourself. It's that simple.
We need to figure out a 'harvest system' to collect the produce that stores don't put out for customers to buy because it's not perfect looking. Frankly, the stuff left to rot in the storeroom is more beautiful to me than the perfect carrot. I'm a gnarly carrot kind of guy.
I don't want any vegetables, thank you. I paid for the cow to eat them for me.
