Please Eat the Dandelions

I once watched a television commercial where a neighbor screamed “kill them all”—and the object of their wrath was a dandelion. The name dandelion derives from the French dent de lion meaning “lions tooth.” The dandelion is one of the most generous and useful plants to ever offer its gifts to mankind and yet, many folks put poison in our earth and water to kill it. Go figure.
