That was true in pre-social media days. Not anymore.

I'd love to see the process by which they split those members from the trunk. Judging by the man standing on the left, the section they're working on is at least 12' tall and 16' in diameter... at minimum. It's kinda funny to think of these men as vegetable harvesters, and that homes are made largely of vegetables. And, yes, trees are vegetables, at least from the perspective of termites, wood beetles, woodlice and fungus... and humans.

"Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible." I remember those old Euell Gibbons Grape Nuts commercials from when I was a kid...

I was thinking Euell always said they have the taste of wild hickory nuts. But I do also recall him talking about pine trees. I have eaten a lot of boxes of them over the years. I tend to stock up on them now, since they are often sold out at the grocery stores in recent months!!

"Why not?" some would ask.
Recent developments prove, unequivocally, vegetables and creatures alike, assume any identity they want.
