The old spokesvegetable, Tommie Tomato, turned out to be a fruit! The BVRA decided to "can" him, and so I got this job! (He never mentioned that he was a fruit on his resume!) Of course, the BVRA does recognize all living plants as living creatures and promotes kindness to them, including vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and fungi. However, complaints were raised about Tommie Tomato by the general public, and an investigation into his roots revealed he had been sprung from a questionable back-ground, and after digging up the dirt on him we decided that he did not properly represent the BVRA. Tommie said it was all a "plot". But that's not what I came here to tell you about.
I came to talk about the Boulder Vegetable Rights Association. They're the grass-roots movement that has sprouted in Boulder to protect cute little life forms like me from certain death. Naturally, I kind of like that. Truth is, I'm an organism just like all other organisms on this planet. I can reproduce, I consume food and produce waste, and I have DNA. Some plants are carniverous and can even hunt their prey! I have a pretty good life. We vegetables have the security of staying in one place most of our lives. This way we can enjoy the sunshine, drink the rain and absorb nutrients from the earth.
I personally was raised as a free-range carrot, allowed to wander about the field as far as I could go. I wish they would stop raising those poor cherry-tomatoes in such cruel and inhumane conditions, keeping them in little boxed areas and plucking them from their vines when they are so young!
Unfortunately, there are some people out there who have targeted us for destruction. Vegetarians! They think that by killing us instead of animals, they will be healthier people or can claim a higher moral ground and lecture those who are not as "wise" as they. Animals are life forms, plants are life forms, people are life forms. The vegetarians kill many more life forms to eat than other diet groups. This is why you need to have some meat, eggs and dairy products in your diet. It's good karma. It's better nutrition. It makes a better world. It stops cruelty to vegetables and other living plants. It follows the natural food chain. So don't worry, be happy, and be nice to each other. Enjoy the sunshine, the rain, your food, and the good earth. Until next time, this is Cutesy Carrot, with another vegetable moment, signing off! See ya!
