Today is Eat Your Vegetables Day, and though we usually do our best to abide by such dietary dictates, there are some vegetables we simply will not eat no matter what you say. No! We won’t eat them and that’s final! You claim they’re healthy for us, but we’re telling you, they’re much too cute, well-crafted and anthropomorphic for us to even contemplate eating them. It’s final, there are at least 15 Vegetables We Refuse To Eat.

Vegetable Gremlin

We especially refuse to eat this after midnight.

Cucumber Sneaker

The latest in ethical footwear.

Vegetable Roast

Cruelly teasing the pig-on-a-spit crowd.

Vegetable Rabbit

Admittedly its torso is made from pineapple, but the cutest parts are all veggie.

Vegetable Garden

Whoa, totally meta.

Vegetable Bert & Ernie

Nice use of cabbage to give them both purple sweaters.

Salad Alien

Slightly less appetizing than the original Alien.

Radish Mice

The latest in mouse evolution, radish mice are cat-proof.

Potato Person

Kill one of them, and a million more will come seeking revenge. Best to leave the proud potato people be.

Pea Pod Kid

Pea pods are already rather cute, so this is just torture.

Eggplant Amy Winehouse

She’s never looked healthier.

Eggplant Turtle

Cutest turtle ever!

Carnivorous Eggplant

Don’t try to eat it, or it will eat you.

Carrot Lion

The rattiest-looking lion in the pride.

Broccoli Lady

Like the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2, except vegetarian.
