I am laughing my head off. I just got this email and I just had to post this! (SHOUT OUT: April, Amy, Angela, Jeannie, Tara, Dawn, Alisa - kind of reminds me of y'all...and our pinto bean song). I hope you enjoy.
SUBMISSION FORMAT AND CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
Creative Assignment:
For years, children have recited the schoolyard chant, "Beans, beans the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. So eat your beans with every meal!" But something is amiss in the lyrics. Beans are a vegetable, not a fruit! The Vegetable with More® campaign needs America to finally right this musical wrong!
