What we can learn from plants.

What we can learn from plants.

This was one of the default blog post titles that popped up when creating this site. So, I thought… “What can we learn from plants?” The answer is NOTHING. Plants can’t speak, convey emotion, or even sing well. Yes I know you’re probably thinking that we can learn stuff through observation and collecting empirical data… but have you ever seen a plant on improv night? Let’s just say they lack a sense of humor as well. It’s no wonder they evolved to be food.

“But Taco!” you interject… “What about creating oxygen? Without plants, we couldn’t breathe.” To this I answer: This just goes to illustrate plant’s roles as a subservient life form to humans. Plants are our biatches! We chop them up and put them in dinner, make them convert CO2 and water into oxygen, I’ve even seen a few creative uses for cucumbers as well… (Rules 34, 35, and 36 of the internet).

Bottom line is… I’m not a hater. I regularly eat many yummy plants. Often breathe the oxygen they produce. But can I learn anything from them? Well, until I see a plant giving a lecture at local university, or teaching at a local high school (which actually may be an improvement in some places), I’m gonna stick with “NO.”

Hmm… this rant might be a good segue into some cooking…
