We got some [organic] cilantro for the buns at Whole Foods. When I took it out to wash it, I saw that it still had the roots attached (as opposed to being cut off cleanly as it is at most markets). I commented about how they get their cilantro from some place that just rips it out by the roots. Then we had the following conversation:


Me: Do you think it's okay for bunnies to eat cilantro roots?

BF: How should I know?

Me: I think it's okay. There's a lot of dirt caked on them.
I don't think it will all wash off, but it's probably good
for them.

BF: (laughs)

Me: Well, bunnies eat dirt out in the wild.

BF: Bunnies do not eat dirt out in the wild.

Me: I mean they eat unwashed things all the time, so they must eat
some dirt now and then, and it's not harmful to their systems.

BF: I'm sure they'll love that. "Here, bunnies, have some dirt."
(pause) "Dirt: it's what's for dinner."


When he said that, I laughed so hard I nearly peed and ran right to the computer to write the conversation down before I forgot it. I kept laughing every time I thought about it the rest of the night. "Dirt: it's what's for dinner." LOL

BTW, the rabbits ate the cilantro roots and are fine.
