Veggie Hater Turned Hero Pillows

'Because she lets me put chocolate syrup on them. That's why I never complain about eating my vegetables at Grandma's.'

"Chocolate? I can't be allergic to chocolate! I'm a kid, can't you say I'm allergic to spinach or broccoli?"

'Oh man I've got a splitting headache.'

"You said the cauliflower is locally grown – would you elaborate?"

But is it organic?

'Congratulations on your 100% plant-based diet. I'm referring you to a botanist.'

'I'm a vegetarian.' - 'If it's so wrong to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?'

At the market

The discovery of asparagus.

"His mother had a great influence on him. She always made him eat his fruits and vegetables."

'May future generations forgive you for eating that sausage...'

"...and that growl has turned many a hunter into vegetarians!"

"Is the asparagus farm-raised or wild-caught?"

Get your no-turkey recipes here! Eco club. Go veggie for T-day! No thanks! I like turkey, sausage, stuffing, creamed onions with bacon and mincemeat pie. I figured as much. How can you tell? Gut check. That's my gut reaction, too.

'The vegetables sat in the crisper for hours...days...a whole week. Then suddenly, the drawer opened. A hand reached in, grabbed the kale, and all you could hear was the sound of...A Garbage disposal.'

:Come on sweetie, you know the rule: You need to finish your chocolate cake before you can have your carrots...'

"I hope we can sell everything before it's time for mom to make dinner."

'What are you eating now?'

"You can't make me eat Brussel sprouts Mum: it's illegal to force-feed geese in this country!"

"Sorry kids, wrong house. This one is made of vegetables."

"Florets! How lovely, I'd better put them in some boiling water."

"What!?! I like a nice salad every now and then, too. What of it?"

"May I take your plate or are you still nibbling?"

'I'm in the amusingly shaped vegetables department.'

"No thanks, mom. I don't think I'll have any broccoli short cake."

'He's all eyes!'

'I never thought my dirt would turn on me like this.'

'I've saved you all the sprouts - Mum said they are very good for us!'

'I wouldn't bother. They're probably gluten-free vegetarians.'

Grocery Shopping

"The transplant can be done anytime. We can always get artichoke hearts."

"My doctor says you should be drawing more fruits and vegetables."

"Here's to us, kid—and the healing powers of raw juices."

I grew up vegetarian. Wow. That takes work to stay strong. What motivates you? Hey, lettuce brain! Peer pressure.

'Are they fat free, low carb, high fibre and organic?'
