In Japan, an assortment of green leafy vegetables are made readily available for people on the go through vending machines.
I've seen a lot of silly stuff sold in vending machines, but a vegetable vending machine has got to be one of the silliest ideas ever. I mean, these are vegetables!

Oh what the heck! I don't eat vegetables anyway.
