Creating awareness to, yes, that is right… To save the celery. Every harvest, billions of celery plants are mindless slaughtered for production. We must have compassion for the needs of celery and it’s species. We add this product to many common foods without even thinking about the accessory to celery death we are becoming.
The practice of celery farming dates back far before the advent of cereal and crackers. Aside from food, it was used in ancient medicine as well. In a time where it made sense to eat things like celery, just to get the few nutrients from they could.
“But it is so good with [insert simulated cheese spread brand name here]!” You say. Well frankly, you should not be eating that stuff either. To boot, celery is a dangerous allergen (right up there with peanuts). The few among us that are allergic, will be happily eating away one day, unknowingly bite down on part of the celery stalk, seed, or root. The next thing they know, they are flailing about on the floor, their throat closing tighter and tighter…
Founded January 17, 2007, this day was designated a day to create awareness one why there is no need to further kill the celery plant. So in conclusion, not only is it virtually useless to eat, it can kill you.
