    Peppers and cucumbers are the traumatic forced abortions of the plant world. Broccoli and cauliflower are the amputated sex organs of the plants that were cut from their bodies. Celery, brussel sprouts, and artichokes are severed limbs of plants. This is a literal mass grave of dead and dying vegetation, an alter to the horrific mutilation and abuse perpetrated on an entire kingdom of life by humans. A final act of humiliation before we condemn them to the hell of cooking and consumption. I doubt the spray mist provides much comfort.

        Oh sure. They’ve spend millions of years sedimenting to form or metamorphasizing in the warm molten bosom of Mother Earth, just so you can selfishly stuff your gob with their crunchy goodness. I hope you are happy with yourself.

    Contrary to what you may believe, you don’t have to envy these vegetables and can indeed take a shower yourself.

    I haven’t seen these for over a decade now, they used to be in most stores but it was pretty obvious it created a lot of issues because of all the “moistness”. Good that they got rid of it, at least here in Sweden.

      I feel like “the moistness” ought to be a shitty B-movie world-ending blight.

      “Grandpa was killed by the moistness; he shouldn’t have even been in that valley without his power dryers”

  • It’s actually not even good for them. It’s entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them. It makes them spoil quicker and is also just a waste of water.

    On the upside: They feel pretty good as a human on a hot day.
