English term or phrase: silence of the yams
Gra słów w oryginale sugeruje, oczywiście, "Silence of the Lambs", czyli "Milczenie owiec" - a w tekście chodzi o to, że produkty roslinne (=owoce i warzywa), mimo że nie zachwalane jako zdrowe, czasami są zdrowsze od tych, kóre mają mnóstwo reklamowych wywieszek:

"Don’t take the silence of the yams as a sign they have nothing valuable to say about your health."

Chodzi mi po głowie "milczący owies", ale nadal nie wiem do końca, jak z tego wybrnąć...
