    I mean… the vegetables in the store are corpses. They were plants, and then they were cut away, and now they’re dying.

    You might as well say “I bet the chicken breast feels so snug in its vacuum-sealed styrofoam tray thing”. And I bet some of you would 😛

    I’m not saying don’t anthropomorphize stuff, and I’m not saying there can’t be whimsy, I love the whimsy! But in this case the lettuce was alive, but the lettuce under the mister isn’t. That’s why they’re misting it.

      I am pretty sure it also makes the produce rot faster, but I don’t have the source for that right now
