Allow me to me explain.
I am a Social Christian, meaning I follow NORAD's track of Santa taking off from the North Pole on Christmas Eve and hide eggs for kids on Easter. When Pope Francis calls for World Peace on Easter Sunday I'm all in favor.
In the spirit of the occasion I asked Bing's Image Creator to create an image of Obama and Trump shaking hands in a desert, what could be more symbolic than that? To my surprise Bing tells me I'm way out of line there. .... threatens me with suspension for posing such an impossible task?
... OK. How about Gandhi and Jesus shaking hands in a desert?
Two strikes against me. Guessing at the problem, I ask for two unnamed guys:
man in a robe with long hair and a man in loincloth and bare feet shake hands in a desert with blue sky
and voila ...
Interesting: there are no feet and making it 'man from India' also gets the warning, I may be banned for life!
In any case, I wasn't quite happy with the loincloth look there, so I went with swimming trunks instead?
and there you are, it's my contribution to World Peace ...

Easter Dinner ... green eggs and ham on a dinner table with checkered tablecloth
[Peas? Did someone order peas?]

You mean the peas? If sparrow eggs are green that's a possibility. I think it’s peas or edamame.

Edamame, it might be. Soybean species vary widely in size and from what I have seen some in shape. Soybeans used for natto are smallest and oval-ish; edamame (in my experience) are multiple times larger than natto; what I cook with are hard dry spheres that morph into small white bean-iikes; roasting dried soybeans results in 'crunchies' for trail mix.

Did not know from natto. I'll check it out.
I did some more experimenting. Since I can't use names or skin tones I tried describing. Can't of course do recognizable faces. And getting the two together seems impossible.

It gets confused at times when people are supposed to have different colors of hair and forgets who is supposed to be heavy.

A Canadian Ford-esque Trumpy. The resemblance had escaped me. They are a two-fer!! May I share?
