"We know in our hearts Little Debbie Swiss Rolls are good, but they aren’t good for us, are they? We are tempted by French Fries, and artery-clogging burgers, but we know the path of repentance if we stray, and it begins at the salad bar.

The most spiritual among us may only eat veggies grown in their backyard, but mainstream believers are inclusive in their acceptance of all fresh produce, no matter the orientation of organic or conventional, local or far-flung.

Is there any country where fruits and vegetable are not revered? Is there any country were folks believe that eating pork rinds is more noble than eating broccoli? I would not want to live in such a place, if there is.

The human aspiration for fresh produce is proof the existence of a higher intelligence. There is a apple-shaped vacuum in all of our stomachs, one might suggest. So why do we fill it with glazed donuts?"
