And, yes, I'm serious. Vegetables are evil.

While I wouldn't go so far as to claim vegetables are evil in any active intentional sense, I do know that many are not good for me because of all my allergies. I rely on vitamin supplements instead. Whether or not it's healthy in some abstract sense for anyone else, it is certainly healthier for me than being sick a lot. NB It isn't just vegetables I have to avoid though. So overall I can only provisionally support your anti-vegetable campaign.

Healthy, schmealthy. Vegetables are evil because they're icky. They smell awful, they taste awful, and they have a texture scientifically engineered to make you vomit. Witness the Brussel's Sprout. People actually eat that damn thing. WHY?!

You ask why on a board where the answer is regularly demonstrated?! It's tradition of course - and even part of the new amalgamated pagan and xtian religious tradition. Blood of X, bread of X and ... erm ... balls of X I suppose.

Actually there is an alternative use to which brussel sprouts were put in college formal hall (= dinner-time in black "gowns") - viz missiles. Since they were rather soggy over-cooked sprouts, they were more like weapons of messy destruction on the oak-panelled walls. Quite a few people got banned one year.
