First step is admitting you have a problem.

1. It's important not to get carrot away

2. The article gives no useful advice on how to cope with carrot addiction

If I run into a carrot addict I want to be able to say something like, "I see you are a carrot addict. Did you know that putting a bar of Fells Naphtha in your back pocket, so you'll have something to chew on when the carrot craving overtakes you, has not been proven to have any beneficial effect at all?"

The article is just useless

3. My dog eats 4-6 carrots every AM

Ever since he was a pup (8 years ago) I have given him carrots while I have my coffee. It was a great teething tool and good for him. His poop is neon orange and I am told that the carrots are why he has no odor.

He laughs at your addiction talk. Silly humans

4. I knew that Bugs Bunny dude had a monkey on his back - nt

5. I had a friend who was addicted

She did indeed turn orange. It was way freaky. But she didn't look as bad as Boner.

6. all joking aside

I knew this girl who was constantly juicing carrots with her veggie juicer. She would have lots and lots of drinks per day, and her skin did start to turn a bit orange, as it says in the article.

Freshly juiced carrots are very sweet, but start to lose their sweetness after a bit. I can see why someone could get addicted to Carrots, especially with freshly made carrot juice. I have had it and it is very good!

But, I never got to do it often cause at the time, veggies were pretty expensive.. especially considering how many carrots it takes to make a full glass of juice.

7. I have a serious carrot addiction, but...

...only when the carrots are in the form of a cake.

12. You touched upon one of my pet peeves.

I happen to love carrots. Eat 'em twice a week, most of the time. Stews, soups; that kind of thing.

But I like real carrots. Not those... "baby carrots." They're not really baby carrots, you know. They're fully grown mutant dwarf carrots, but "baby carrots" is better marketing than "mutant dwarf carrots." Who'd buy mutant dwarf carrots? Well, apparently a lot of people will as long as you don't call them mutant dwarf carrots!

And "new potatoes" really are baby potatoes. But we don't call them babies, do we? Why is it baby carrots - incorrectly, as I wrote above - but new potatoes?

Baby carrots. Shudder.

13. The bagged "baby" carrots are drilled down from oversized carrots

Fuul sized carrots that have splits or other blemishes are shaped into those little snack carrots.

14. Really?

I saw a thing on PBS not long ago about hydroponic carrot farms, and they were growing these tiny carrots. Are you saying these aren't mutant carrots?

I mean, I think they taste different. Is that in my head? It wouldn't be the first time something strange has crawled inside my head...

[Gormy Cuss]

16. The ones you saw on PBS may be mutants.

The bagged ones in the supermarket came about as a means to use up carrots that were cosmetically challenged. That's why they're so freakishly uniform in shape.

11. This is about Boehner (aka Captain Carotene), isn't it?

He's like a poster child for carotenemia.

15. When I was a kid I ate so many carrots the school nurse thought I was jaundiced

...and called social services.
