Not Green Pumpkins

My teenage daughter has insisted I write this article.After listening to her points I agree she has a point.

Due to a poor summer this years crop of pumpkins are going to be green.The company's that market them are spending thousands on heating to get them orange,not a very green thing to do my daughter says.But her main point is no one eats them.The contents are scraped out and put in the bin.The hollow shell is then used to make lanterns for Holloween.Do people eat them?I rang everyone i knew and asked them and the reply was ugh no.So maybe the insides of 2 million pumpkins are binned.What should be done with them is this(i'm told).The company's that sell them should only sell the shell for the Holloween market and can the contents to be sent to parts of the world were food is needed.Mixed with maize it would make a good bread.Even the empty can would be put to use by a very inventive and creative people.I have been told and now so have you.
