And what did that carrot ever do to you that you should yank it screaming from its bed and offer it to an alien?

For all we know, aliens will be vegetables, and all the vegetarians in our midst will be viewed as their implacable enemies and meat eaters as their friends.

I worry more about extra terrestrials coming here to eat us.

Ah, thank you for the inspiration. Rainy day here, perfect for watching The Thing (from another world) for the umpteenth time. James Arness made a memorable alien as an intelligent carrot who has come here to colonize humanity as a food source for his "people." (Rumor had it that the movie was based on a true incident that was hushed up).
