americans just got lazier ...

this morning, just like most mornings, i woke up to infomercials. usually is the whole 'no money down' house flipping schemes or the 'you can cook a small baby in under 12 minutes' home appliances, however, today i was greeted with a sight that i found completely laughable.

introducing ... the aerogarden!!

this wondrous hunk of plastic and stainless steel affords people the opportunity to create a garden in the home with virtually no effort. it sits on your counter top and you fill the basin with water; you replace the top and insert the veggie or herb cups (your choice) and then you "set it ... and forget it!" (ok, so that's the ronco cooker.) it uses aeroponics and your veggies or herbs grow in half the time it would take something to grow in vitamin enriched soils. it even turns the light on and off automatically to simulate sunlight and beeps and flashes when you need to either add water or the nutrient tablets. a lazy man's wet dream!

it's no wonder that americans are fat and lazy ... now they don't even have to go outside! you can grow all your food indoors without even setting foot in the sun and become huge, pallid white slugs waiting until you hear that ding!

well, guess my lettuce is done! my preeeeeeeeeciousssssssssss.

but be on the lookout for more wonderful items of note.

items i'm waiting for:

• the 'beef and pork garden.' ~ just add water, turn on the light and voila, fresh beef or pork in days, all grown without heads or internal organs for easy preparation.


• the 'travel aerogarden.' ~ just pop it in your purse and let it grow. within days you'll be pulling cherry tomatoes from your prada and munching on the go!
