I can't find "teutlophobe" in a dictionary and I think you made it up
and you can just stop that right now, okay? Beta vulgaris seems like an
apt description (see Wiki on beets).

I clean up nice and I show well and my friends think I'm more fun to be
with than a bucket of puppies. My older siblings are jealous of me
because I'm cuter than they are and Mom always liked me best.
