You know how when people are brain dead, they generally pick up the term as being a vegetable? What's the deal with that? I mean, clearly they're not a vegetable. It's not like your mom is forcing you to eat them... and it's not like they contain all these vitamins and minerals that are good for you, and help you to grow up big and strong.
It's quite deceiving. So I propose we switch over to something like, water chestnut. Those have like zero minerals and vitamins. The only thing they're really good for is crunching. I love a good crunch, and I think most folks do to. It's the perfect switch. Now our kids won't think get confused when we tell them they need to eat all their vegetables.

I see someone wasn't paying attention in school. Probably wondering why you had to eat your veggies. The term comes from the word "vegetate" which means:
"To exist in a state of physical or mental inactivity or insensibility."
There you have it. Being in a vegetative state, but people are dumb and called it being a vegetable. Right idea, wrong word.

for some reason that reminded me of the episode when Homer has to eat Pinchy.

I've recently converted to a branch of Scientology that supports our cannibalistic tendencies. Our leaders encourage us to go out and rid the world of brain dead people, one munch at a time. Not only is it nutritious but it also releives the burden on our social security system - everyone hates freeloaders you know! Oh yeah, and our leaders also said you suck Waylon. I love you Tom...

Stev, Steve, Steve.
Tsk Tsk Tsk. If you'd bothered to pay attention to your Scientology manual, you'd have seen that the lay-scientogs (Katie Holmes, et al.) are only allowed to eat the flesh of space aliens, and then only if these aliens are enslaving a population or comminting interplanetary genocide.
How'd you ever pass the brain-o-graph?! Sheesh.
Only Grand Scions of the Cosmic Checkbook, (eg. Tom and John T.) are allowed to eat human flesh, and even then, only if the owners of said flesh are mormons or papists.
Or - of course - anyone from Reseda.
