The evolution of vegetables in my lifetime

Vegetables come out of the ground. Wash. Plop. Into the pot. Onto the plate. Chew.

Vegetables come out of a can. Open. Plop. Into the pot. Onto the plate. Chew.

Vegetables come out of a waxen box that comes out of a freezer. Tear. Plop. Into the pot. Onto the plate. Chew.

Vegetables come out of a plastic bag inside a waxen box that comes out of a freezer. Tear. Plop. Into the pot. Then snip. Onto the plate. Chew.

Vegetables come out of a plastic bag inside a waxen box that comes out of a freezer. Tear. Place onto a revolving tray inside a microwave. Set timer. Set power level. Bzzz. Snip. Onto the plate. Chew.

Hey, poot, these don't taste like vegetables! What the hell is this goopy sauce? And the texture -- it's like baby food. Good for gumming but where's the crunch? I'm done with this shite.

Vegetables come out of the ground. Wash. Plop. Into the pot. Onto the plate. Chew. Ahh! Vegetables!
