Be reassured, I am not going crazy and seeing the advent of the 'organic' TV here.
As niche audiences get smaller and smaller, here comes Veggie Vision, an Internet TV Channel.
On Word of Mouth, Adharanand Finn wonders Who will watch the vegetarian channel?
He also asks "what is the point of vegetarian telly, exactly?"
Mr. Finn offers this high point of Veggie Vision "a nice interview with Benjamin Zephaniah in which he tells the story of how he once beat a boy up at school for calling him a vegan – he was vegan but he didn't know the word and thought it was a racist insult of some sort.He also talks about how as a child he saw animals as friends who didn't judge him for his skin color".
It might prove that being a vegetarian does not prevent you from showing anger.
Interestingly enough, Veggie Vision the internet TV Channel has a twin.
The other Veggie Vision is a very advanced scanner designed by Jon Connell and his team of the Exploratory Vision Group at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center "that can recognize the 150 or so different fruits and vegetables found in the produce section of a well-stocked supermarket" from kiwano to tamarillo according to Green Machine by Bruce Schechter (for IBM).
If you are interested in a cross between a cucumber and a kiwi which is the description I found via How to eat a Kiwano, treat yourself to this fruit from the Kalahari desert.
As for Tamarillo, it is a native of Peru and other Andean neighbors.
Its original name is Tree Tomato according to Wikipedia.
