No. Not the same.

Spinach on the other hand, is a very small industry that could benefit as a whole by a surge in spinach consumption. Combine that with the fact that they get government subsidization and that the government also is in control of the Navy, and you have a cartoon character that eats spinach and is in the Navy. All of the sudden you get a spinach sales boom and an influx of kids ages 4-12 registering for Naval positions. It makes perfect sense.
