Not only would the ad help the mustard museum’s finances pass muster now, it would also give future museum attendance a boost—if meat-eating patrons started spreading their mustard on veggie dogs instead, they would enjoy lower rates of obesity, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, meaning that they’d be healthy enough to keep visiting in the years to come.
