Beautiful Things #82 and #83: Fruits and Vegetables
Your mom tells you to eat them, the food pyramid tells you to eat them, they are delicious and nutritious. But did you know they are also beautiful? They make structure and color out of water, sunshine, and dirt. How sweet is that? And speaking of sweet, they are one of the few things on this list that can be beautiful to all the senses.
Another reason fruits and vegetables are beautiful is because they are useful. Forget aesthetics, beauty for beauty’s sake, these industrious flora are hardworking and essential to our survival. They are like little red, green, and yellow superheroes, sacrificing their lives so that others may live. How noble, how selfless, how… beautiful?
