For some, lawn care is like pulling teeth -- or maybe worse
For people who love green lawns, Americans aren't exactly enthusiastic about mowing them.
A recent survey by Consumer Reports shows many people have higher priorities than caring for their lawns. According to the survey, 62 percent would rather cook, 49 percent would rather grocery shop, 38 percent would rather clean the house and 17 percent would rather see the dentist.
See the dentist? Really?
I'll choose the mower over that anytime.
