Kids Across The World Unite Celebrating The Recent Spinach Recall

Once a part of the great hated-vegetable-triumvirate that also included brussel sprouts and asparagus, spinach is now just a shell of its former self. In light of the recent events, parents are struggling to fill the void left by the absent leafy side dish. But don't look to any kids across the world to be shedding any tears. "This is sooooo cool!", said Corey Mathewson of Internaitonal Falls, MN. Corroborating his sentiments was Hishmar Dazry of Islamabad, Pakistan, "My mom used to totally make me eat that crap all the time...now its nothing but cookies and ice cream!" (You may be surprised but we here that TDS are fluent in Hindi, Farsi and Aramaic.)
Brussel Sprout and asaragus farmers are working overtime to make up for the hole left by the spinach recall. Dwayne Tucker, a brussel sprout farmer in Des Moines, IA, told TDS that his office has been flooded with requests from local parents to step up production. The You Better Eat Your Vegetables Debate is a timeless struggle, one that often ends in a stalemate. Kids across the globe are willing to go to bed without dessert, TV or video games in order to avoid eating the vile plants that adults call food.
The Global Assosciation of Kids, or GAK, is calling for all its members to unite in prayer that a similar recall will affect asparagus, brussel sprouts and many other hated vegetables.
