I think you misread him. He said that most people never eat pumpkin except when they have pumpkin pie. Other vegetables weren't implicated in the statement.
I didn't misread, it's just that roast pumpkin is pretty much a standard with roast meat here (along with potatoes, and a variety of other vegetables) and that would be the most common way for it to be eaten here. So I wondered how it's done there.
When I do a roast I generally do roasted potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, and onions, and a cauliflower and broccoli au gratin. Plus some broccoli boiled on the side, and some carrots left raw, for the kids who won't eat any of the above, and corn. I'd do beans if the fussy kids would eat them, but they won't, and the rest of us have enough veggies already :)

Another name for your blacklist: Epson
At this stage, are there any inkjet manufacturers who don't try to cripple competitor or refilled cartidges?
Some good quotes from Cory Doctorow in the article.
"Inkjet printers are the trailblazers of terrible technology business-models, patient zero in an epidemic of insisting that we all arrange our affairs to benefit corporate shareholders, at our own expense.”
"Infosec may be a dumpster-fire, but that doesn't mean Epson should pour gasoline on it."

It was clearly meant as a joke. Black comedy. Nothing to see here but hysteric liberals.
Well, yes, but if they gave the cookies out without warning—
Students at Da Vinci Charter Academy who ate the sugar cookies reportedly knew the cookies contained the ashes, but it’s not clear why they decided to eat them, Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel told InsideEdition.com.
[The police are not filing any charges and the school district declined to comment.]
Oh. So yeah, why is this a story? "Students at high school do mildly unpleasant thing." Because teenagers are never like that normally.

Sometimes you can take re-enactment too far. For me, that point comes when you don't actively try to make your re-enactment weapons significantly less dangerous than the original models.
