It makes it sound like I need to get my veggies a self-help book. Perhaps arrange a date with the other foods around so it will come out of its shell and stop being so shy. Or perhaps, if it is bad enough, call in a doctor.
But no, it's about hunger.
Isn't it nice how we PC-up all the fucking words that express the truth of our daily lives, in a plain attempt to make them sound less scary.

... that "telling it like it is" is just an excuse for bigotry, rudeness, and insensitivity.
So be it. I refuse to call a spade an "excavation enabler."

6. More like SLOW STARVATION |

They didn't call it what it was during the last Depression, either. It was either pneumonia or heart failure on the death certificate.
It sucks. It also doesn't have to be this way. Look at the billionaires to find out why.
