Why do you people judge me based on beets???

Question

Beets are very nutritious.

Lord Knothead- you are not the lord of the beets!

Answer 1

Because my life revolves around beets (as should everyone else's) and just to show that I know what I am talking about, here is the first rule in roadside beet sales:
Put the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go “wow, I need this beet right now”. Those are the money beets.

See what I mean? Words to live by...

Answer 2

To soak beet pulp, place the shreds or pellets in a bucket and add twice as much water as pellets. You can use cool or warm water; some people feel it soaks a little more quickly using warm, but be careful not to use water so hot that you cook the beet pulp, because that will destroy most of the nutrients it contains. Let the bucket sit for at least 12 hours before feeding, longer for pellets (this is to ensure the pellets will not swell further in the horses gut and cause colic-which I have seen happen on a number of occasions). When ready, the beet pulp should have soaked up all of the water, increased in volume to fill the bucket, and be light and fluffy in consistency. (If you use beet pulp pellets, it's easy to tell whether it has been soaked sufficiently, because there will be nothing left that resembles a pellet). It's best to make up beet pulp in small batches-just enough to feed in a single day. In the hot summer months, especially, soaked beet pulp left to sit tends to ferment, significantly changing its odor and flavor. If this happens, it's best to throw it out and make a fresh batch. Generally soaked beet pulp will keep for about 24 hours; in the winter, you may be able to stretch that to 48 hours or so. I use a great product in the UK, called Speedi beet, which is fully soaked in ten mins! Speedi beet is unmolassed and sugar free, good for horses that have had laminitis, non-heating and slow release. The slow release is easy to explain as it is the same as human food that is slow release, lasting longer in the system. The other things mean basically that it should not make the horse too excited. Some horse owners need to be careful in case of lamimitis (more common in ponies on lush grazing). It is a condition that causes the pedal bone (a bone in the foot) to rotate causing lameness. Speedi beet is suitable to feed animals prone to laminitis as it does not contain anything that would cause or exacerbate the symptoms.

Answer 3

Yeah, beets are very nutritious, but so are a lot of other foods and I wouldn't hold that against you, nor give you credit for it!

I don't know why people would judge you based on beets.
Perhaps they have different standards than the rest of us!
Or maybe it is your name, if beets are your life, then perhaps it is fitting that you should be judged based on them!

Zorak says, "Perhaps it is because you are constantly "beeting around the bush"? Are you always "beet"? It "beets" me. I don't know, perhaps you march to the "beet" of a different drummer. My host, enbsayshello, used to work in a sugar factory processing sugar beets. (this is true) Can you "beet" that? Don't "beet" me up!! Bwaa Haa Haa!!"

Answer 5

Beets can be made into sugar.

Sugar is sweet.

Are you as sweet as a beet?
