“Mmm… Carrots”
Remember the time Lisa Simpson met Paul and Linda McCartney and they encouraged her vegetarianism? They say that the former Beatle and his wife’s condition for appearing on “The Simpsons” was that Lisa would remain a vegetarian for the rest of the series. Anyway, in the episode itself, Paul told Lisa: “Linda and I both feel strongly about animal rights. In fact, if you play ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ backwards, you’ll hear a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup.”
Lisa’s dad, Homer, on the other hand, is no fan of vegetables. As Homer once said: “All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there was no meat, I would say ‘Yo Goober! Where’s the meat?!’ I’m trying to impress people here, Lisa. You don’t win friends with salad.” So, isn’t it ironic that Homer Simpson, of all people, turned into a carrot? Doh!
