In an effort to shed light on the importance of healthy school meals in the United States, comedy website Funny or Die and the American Heart Association produced a commercial that takes place on what may be the most unique farm in the country.

“Welcome to the pizza farm, where we are hard at work growing the ripe, juicy pizzas your kids love,” says Daniel Frances, a food expert played by Nick Offerman, known for playing Ron Swanson on the show Parks and Recreation.

The farm features vast acres of sun-kissed pizza, orchards of tacquito trees and fields of Sloppy Joes.

What does a farmer with such a unique bounty of crops use to grow them?

“The nutrients in the cola we use to water them,” he says, taking a drink from a hose.

Frances’s motto for healthy eating is simple:

“Listen, if it’s on a plant it’s good for you; who cares how it got there.”

Another clip shows someone who says he got into farming to “make a bit of money.”

The footage, which appears to be taken somewhere in Europe, shows a farmer in different spots of his operation talking about the money he makes from his products, including how chickens can be processed for meat or kept for eggs.
