As a vegetable rights activist, I've seen some terrible things--a veritable chopped salad of suffering. For instance, chopped salad. But this takes agricultural cruelty to a new level.

Are we as a society so inured to violence that we cheer as a potato is turn-by-turn transformed into something twisted beyond recognition--a "curly fry"? Can we sit idly by as apples are ground into "fruit noodles"?

America used to be a safe haven for fruits and vegetables. We'd protect them in our crispers, let our children play with them, then release them into landfills. But suddenly, the knives have come out. Today they're sliced, diced, chopped, juiced, julienned, and now this: spiral slicing. Horrifying.

So why the 5 stars? Look, I'm no idiot. I know I'm not going to change the world by preaching to the converted. I need to reach those who've been brainwashed by the vegetable-industrial complex--the doctors, nutritionists, public health advocates, and well-meaning parents. Face it, we all have ketchup on our hands.

But it's time to come together and say, Enough! Let's treat our leafy greens, hearty legumes, and dirty tubers with the respect they deserve. Chill and release, folks. Chill and release. And let them live again--in New Jersey.
