Plain old white onions get pretty sweet when cooked. I love it.
I'll usually throw a few (peeled) onions in with a roast or or meal I make in the oven and sometimes add a few smallish ones, also peeled, if I'm boiling potatoes or carrots.
It takes zero effort, it's cheap, it's delicious, and it's low-calorie even.

Whole onions, not peeled, are super easy and nice to make in a campfire as well if you're into hiking/camping. Although they are not weight-efficient if you're serious about the hiking part. It's a lot of flavour from even a small one, though, so I'll usually bite the bullet and bring a few small ones. Just leave them near the embers and give it time.

No.

It was presidents day after Trump took office, he was at Mount Vernon - George Washingtons estate - which is a cultural heritage site where they dress up and do the 18th century larp to teach people history. He spent a whole week there doing shows. For the last episode on presidents day, they made an ORANGE FOOL - which was a type of desert made from the orange's they grew on Mt. Vernon that Washington enjoyed.

A few mouthbreathers thought it was a shot at Trump, the usual internet goons caught onto it and thought it'd be funny to meme.

to be fair I do think he can feign enthusiasm to increase sales in the line of historical products he sells for a living. which is something you now can kind of see as a possibility but still think it's retarded to assume someone would do for some reason.
a farmer doesn't have to be all about them beets if he was handed a beet farm by his parents. I'd expect him to have working knowledge about growing beets, different beet cultivars and diseases. I'd mostly expect him to be able to grow and sell them to a wholesaler. no one expects passion from the farmer just work. same story here, except getting people excited about beets is part of the job and so there needs to be salesmanship.
