Why eat Beets anyway?

facebook response to a post concerning eating beets:


Monkeys never ate beets or most vegetables. Our physiology is not really designed for green vegetables. Stick with fruits and nuts and leave the vegetables to the gourmands. 

I have to laugh, because I think that when most people quit eating meat, they say, "Well, WHAT shall we cook NOW? Vegetables?" I say -- Why cook anything? Just eat fruit and nuts and be as healthy as you can be. Don't even sit at a table or use a plate. Just eat, and get back to your fun life.
