I don't believe in God. Sorry, but it's not happening. I really don't believe in the whole Adam and Eve, garden of Eden story either. For those that are curious, men and women have the same number of ribs. There have been enough dissections in the world to prove that little fact.
However, if I did believe in God and Eden and such, I would have to say that Avocados are God's ways of apologizing for kicking humans out of Eden. Yeah, we deserved it. Adam and Eve did the one thing they weren't supposed to. But God still felt a little bad about the whole thing. She/He/It/Thing-a-ma-bob is a decent sort of creature and just had that little soft spot in it's heart. So God decided to let us have Avocados. A little slice of heaven here on earth. Yummy.
Bell peppers, on the other hand, well, we won't go into detail, but boy was God mad that day. Something to do with Crusades I think.
"I find patriotism not only a refuge of scoundrels but of idiots and those who like to buy their thinking ready-made each morning in the vacuous newspapers. Every decade or so governments create wars and whip up a frenzy, so that we will not notice the shortcomings of our own side and will not question the assumptions of our society and demand more rational institutions and laws." -Marge Piercy, Gone to Soldiers
