I don't like carrots. I don't like the texture and I don't like the flavour. People say it helps your sight in the dark, but that's complete shit. My parents are both advocates of the carrot way and yet stumble in the dark trying to get their keys into a lock when I can see the lock just fine. Also, my mother's been eating carrots her whole life and still requires glasses.
That was AWESOME. My grandma used to grow carrots in her garden when i was a kid and i would dig them up and clean them eat them fresh. And i'd pretend i was Bugs Bunny. Those were the days. The store bought carrots just aren't the same.
I love carrots I eat them all the time. They don't turn you orange, they turn you yellow. They don't make your eyesight better, it was propaganda from the british to make the public eat them during WW2. They said it helped the pilots see better, in fact that was radar.
I'll probably be making carrot soup for supper tonight so... yay? But I like pretty much all veg, anyway. Yeah, even broccoli and spinach.
And despite common lore too many carrots are bad for your eyes. A few carrots, okay. Too much beta-keratin? Eyesight begins to falter.PayJ567 said:
But vitamin A also has that effect on bone density ... so women shouldn't eat too many carrots especially o.o
Baby carrots? This isn't new to me, I've been snacking on them for lunches for years now. Not as good as whole, fresh out of the ground carrots to be sure but they're still good. These adverts, even though I thought they were kind of pathetic, haven't chased me away from carrots. I love carrots.

I pretty much live off raw fruit and vegetables and feel fantastic for it. Some commercial telling me to eat carrots like I'd eat junk food isn't very encouraging.
Rather than putting across that sort of message they need to be trying to put across the hugely positive effect it has on your general sense of clarity.
Until recently, I lived off Pizza, oven and fried food, all really greasy fatty shit basically, and compared to my current dietary habits, I could barely string together a coherent thought.
The difference is like putting a sock in someone's mouth and asking them to read a sentence, then taking the sock out and making them repeat it. Everything is far clearer, pristine, crystalline. Eating it like junk food is the wrong goddamn message.
*Wanders off, munching on a cucumber.*

Eh, I eat carrots because I have to. They are good for me, and they aren't that bad.
But I still don't want to.
