Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are filled with gorgeous food
photos and people fawning over their favorite foods. In a twist on
these typical positive posts, a recent Twitter thread gained a lot
of attention for allowing people to rant about foods - vegetables, to be precise - that they
hated.
It all began when legal analyst Imani Gandy posted a
photo of sauteed spinach with the caption "Is there a
vegetable that's a bigger liar than spinach? This is
half a pound. LIAR!!"
Others soon joined in, lambasting everything
from celery, calling it "just water, neatly organised
into lines," to kale to sweet
potatoes.
While some people stuck to the original
theme of "lying vegetables", others expressed strong dislike for
specific vegetables. "Parsnips. They're Satanic carrots," one
person remarked. Perhaps the most damning comment was saved for
asparagus: "Asparagus tastes of bitterness and despair. It's
like late middle age in vegetable form," was the
tweet.
