Equal rights for fruits and vegetables

First of all, I'd like to join with the rest of you in thanking Juliana for getting oil prices down to their lowest value in 20 months. Excellent work, Juliana!

In other news, it seems our Campaign for Equal Rights for Fruits And Vegetables (CERFAV) has finally convinced the EU to lift some of its restrictions. CERFAV still has a long way to go, but at least we have convinced the EU to allow potatoes not meeting society's definition of attractive to be sold along side their more superficially-appealing counterparts. Brussells sprouts will no longer be required to watch their weight so closely, as they still have a chance at being sold even if they gain a little extra weight. Cucumbers will be allowed to bend as much as they like.

Even with this victory, however, CERFAV still needs to convince consumers to buy less-than-perfect fruits and vegetables. Until they do, we fear that young fruits and vegetables will continue to need counseling to deal with their body-image issues. We plead with you all to help us in this campaign by talking to all of your European friends about the benefits of fruits and vegetables that are allowed to be themselves. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not concerned about the happiness of our produce!

Excellent point, Tim. We are truly concerned with equality of human.. err... world rights in the GNU Public Dictatorship and hope that our efforts in education will continue to make the world a better place to live for all people, animals, vegetables and minerals.
