The wonderful world of vegetables and Yours Truly have come to a rather affable decision. I will point out that it has been a long time in coming, but finally, we have reached a point of harmony.

I happened to be at the supermarket and as I wandered around, I found
myself in front of the vegetable counter. There they were in all their 
assumed glory looking as fresh as a daisy. I never stood before such an 
assembly. I walked over to where the corn was so that the vegetables 
could hear me and I had a little chat with the entire group. The 
outcome was an amiable agreement. 

Our agreement runs something like this; I will refrain from making
sarcastic cuts about vegetables and dishing them if they, in return, 
stay off my supper dish. 

The corn was all ears and the cabbage nodded her head in thoughtful
agreement. The potatoes were all eyes and the section of string beans 
was trying to string me along with some kind of garden rhetoric. 
However, it was the lettuce that spoke up. "Sir, we all respect your 
opinion about us. And I promise we will let you alone if you lettuce 
alone." 

People of different opinions should respect each other's opinions and
live together in harmony. Even the Bible says, "But when ye sin so 
against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against 
Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no 
flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend" (1 
Corinthians 8:12-13 KJV). 

Judging everybody by my opinions, I will needlessly offend someone. One
man's vegetable just may be another man's heartburn.
