You're right, he doesn't know.

I recall the idiot also posted that white women were no good for sex, or
their tits were no good, or some such Popeye rubbish. I reckon that
ain't bigotry though.

I bet Popeye would try to screw a snake if someone held it's head so it
wouldn't bite his little saw-seege.

Popeye the agronomist ... If yoose wants white asparagus, and yoose
don't have a cave ...

Yoose can try keeping the dirt hoed up every day around the stalk as it
grows.

Maybe some day a real agronomist will develop a brown variety just for
yoose sorry ass.

I wonder if eating baby foods of any kind, beef or veggie, is not a form of child killing. As a result, my good conscious will never allow me to eat baby versions of any food product on the market no matter how much I crave them. Cut down the prime of life - how would you like it if it happened to you? I know we are all saddled with the same annoying instincts - the urge to eat being one of them - so I suppose on the harshest conditions of pure desperation I might give in to eating baby versions of foods, but until then I eat potatoes and other once-living 'creatures' only after they have matured and their lives have been lived in full. But in a moment of intense hunger, like post apocalyptic cannibal type stuff going down - in a moment like that I it is possible even I would cave in and go for the young stuff..

You're putting too much stress into simple eating. Many of these 'baby'
vegetables, as you call them, are simply genetically cultivated to be
small.

I was trying to be funny, and even though it didn't work as planned, I got something out of it, a few mild lol's as I wrote it, which of course I did in a selfish, off the cuff, not much planning way. So I was not being serious, I was merely reacting off the cuff to the vision I had of the ultra small potatoes. I would never be against eating such things even if they were actual children of their more mature parents. When it comes to eating I'm open to just about anything, even eating human meat (as long as it has been federally inspected).

I only buy a bag and scrap a pot for xgiving and xmas. cut them in half and bake for 90? min. Get a nice golden crunchy layer on the flat bottoms.
