Who doesn't love the New York Times food section? The answer is everyone, at least for today as the publication tweeted out its recipe for green pea guacamole. The recipe caused such an uproar that even the president himself [1] sided with the people on this one and tweeted his disapproval. The reactions to this seemingly innocent guac recipe [2] are downright hilarious. You're going to want to add to the conversation. Trust us.

Add green peas to your guacamole. Trust us. http://t.co/7imMY9c2ph [3] pic.twitter.com/oeOMt2qgmh [4]

Obama took time away from his health care Twitter talk to address the obvious:

NYT may have lost some of its credibility . . .

@nytimes [20] you guys are being really offensive and tbh I'm contemplating an unfollow
