I'm pretty sure I can make a better case for a malevolent deity than any apologist does for their warm and fuzzy god. Problem of Evil? No, that's a feature!
And the broccoli should probably count double. That crispy crunch you get when you bite into a vegetable is an indicator that you've just gnawed upon a living organism. At least we carnivores have the decency to kill our food before we start biting chunks off.
You had my kudos until you mentioned broccoli. I love it fresh or in stir-fry and you are hereby dead to me.
PS -- the crunch is only an indicator of how much fiber it gives you out of love.
You mistake my meaning. Broccoli is delicious, though my preference is lightly steamed. The crunch is hardly specific to broccoli, being similarly found in a variety of vegetables in the fruiting bodies, leaves, roots, and properly BBQed infants. It tells you that you've just consumed a living organism that will be slowly digested over a thousand years.
