Of All The Vegetables To Eat

Posted on: 09/27/04, 16:14:42
three bites from celery
Wouldn't you know, of all the vegetables I've offered to Peanut, the one he ate, the one he bit into three times, is celery. That dieter's delight that (according to a few sources, so it's probably at least close to true) takes more calories to digest than it actually contains. Mmmm, negative food. And just as devoid of nutritional elements as you'd expect from a fibrous stick that only has about 6 calories in it. Now, Peanut was on my shoulder while he took these three bites, so the celery spitballs may have landed on the floor — and not in his mouth. It could be that he simply likes the texture of the vegetable, and not the flavor. But still, celery?!? Why not spinach, or broccoli, or sweet potato, or any of the other things I've offered?

(And, yes, it's another terrible picture. But really, there are three bites in it, on the right at the top.)
