RE: Grandpa Horrified by New Technology in the Kitchen
And this is the sort of thing that turns people into fruititarians, ha! It reminded me of the beginning of a Tom Robbin's novel, I can't remember which one at the moment. Also the cartoon Brave Little Toaster.
Though the blender has been replaced already by things such as food processors and juicers...now the next time I go to use one I'm going to have this in my head. Thanks! ;)
Love the drawing.
They may have to become breatharians when they hear the sorrow in that poor banana's voice! I probably read the TR novel long ago, but the details are long lost now.
According to the movie Notthinghill (if that's a reliable source for such things-Hugh grant, Julia Roberts lol) a fruititarian is someone who only eats what has fallen from the vine, or is already dead. Not someone who only eats fruit, which is what you would expect considering vegetarian ;)
I did not know that detail about fruitarians-- til! That premise would actually eliminate some common fruits, like strawberries, they'll dry up before they think of dropping from the plant. Bananas would be out too.
