How is that paragraph so perfect?

I’m not legally permitted to specify the exact materials I use in the production of these words in order to get such results. However, I assure you that most are non-toxic.

But are they environmentally friendly at least?
11522437
The environment hasn’t submitted any complaints yet, so I’m inclined to agree with this statement.
Interesting story, though I prefer the Dislestia part of it.
Do fried tomatoes really hurt your figure?
Some funny moments here, including: "Celestia laughed slightly, always careful to disguise the gesture modestly with a forehoof. Only the noblest of noblemares would laugh the noblemare's laugh so nobly. " LOL lovely alliteration and tongue twister.

Not all chapters have food, sadly. Though she does do dorky shit in every chapter.

No joke, Twilight's little spiel here was unironically one of the best written depictions of autism that I have seen.

And that's why she's second best pony.
11828831
Now I gotta ask, who do you think is best pony?
11830529
Probably Luna. Which is funny since 99% of my favs are about Twilight. But there just aren't that many popular stories about Luna that aren't oc/anon shipping unfortunately. Or TwiLuna which is fine but most of them also tend to focus on Twilight..
