Feminist Anthropomorphized Food Watch

[eredien]

Unexamined assumptions about relationships and women found in a magazine ad for toasted garlic mozzarella crackers:

1. Opposites attract: "...garlic got caught up in a crazy little thing called love with, of all things, Mozzarella."

2. Real people need to reproduce  for a relationship to be viable long-term: "...sure, Tomato and Mozzarella got along, but there was no spark...besides, Tomato was seedless." (Really? Yes, really.)

3. Cheating is fine: "garlic and mozzerella sneaked out, and it was everything garlic had dreamt it would be."

Menu for tomorrow's easter dinner:
- Black bean, mango and quinoa salad with red pepper and cilantro and scallions
- Seitan burgers with citrus-sesame date sauce
- Lowfat chocolate bundt cake

I get the seedless tomato metaphor
(http://www.threadless.com/submission/95943/The_Downside_of_Genetic_Engineering)
but how can we tell that garlic and mozzarella are of opposite sexes?
