when people sit under trees to eat lunch, oddly enough their food tastes better.

what people don't know is the reason behind it. trees like to absorb vitamins from wherever they can, even from the food of happy couples having picnics in the shade.

this works to the advantage of both the tree and the happy couple, since food without vitamins tastes better to humans.
