Vegetarian food in the US is less than exemplary. Besides salad bars, the most common offerings are tasteless, squishy boiled vegetables. And canned foods are even less appetizing. No wonder the only way they could persuade kids to consume veggies was to show Popeye saving the damsel-in-distress by eating spinach.
美國的素食方式實在乏善可陳，除了沙拉盤外，就是白水煮得稀爛的菜蔬，尤其是罐頭蔬菜，更是讓人倒胃口，難怪卡通片要以卜派吃菠菜泥生出神力救美為題，鼓吹蔬菜的營養價值。
