It was obvious to me and I'd like to applaud him for coming out of the closet on this important issue.  Beets have long since been off of my radar due to their horrific taste but we should not impose these terrible tasting vegetables on our children any longer.  Oh, sure, you're gonna get the pro-beet movement a little worried about having such a prominent sports figure in the limelight on such a controversial issue and who knows what kind of a spin FOX News will provide to this, as well.  The world needs more heroes like Scott Norton for being strong enough to admit to the world that, "It's simply OK to hate these vegetables."

Your point is well taken, however I think it is unfair that we teach the younger generation any valid usage of the word "hate".  Personally, I prefer the word dislike, although dislike is also too strong in certain social situations.  I believe that we could remedy this intense suspicion of a vegetable simply because it's red instead of green by brainwashing the public with an "educational" campaign.  I propose that we consider establishment of a "beet history month".

 


Signature? I dont need no stinking signature...

My trap has been sprung.  It didn't take long for one of the pro-beet, bleeting heart folks to chime in about how the decaying educational system to shoulder the burden of beet awareness.

Possible slogans for the pro-beet movement, AKA The Beet-les.

 

"We Got the Beet" 

"The Beet Goes On"

 "Always Remember to Beet Your Meat (by adding a slice to your sandwich, of course)"

 "My Heart Beats For Beets"

 "We Are the Beet Generation"

BEETS

 

 One more thing I like that Mr. Norton doesn't.
Learn to laugh, and love, and smile, cause we’re only here for a little while.

When I was a kid the dog would eat everything off my plate (when mom wasn't looking) EXCEPT the beets. That's the true sign that they are horrible.
