    Snopes can be a wealth of helpful information.

    http://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/carrots.asp

    Baby carrots are cut from larger "imperfect" carrots. They are not 'bred". They are rinsed in a chlorine solution, then rinsed again with clean water. Do you not wash your veggies before eating them?

    I agree that it can be a wealth of information ~ when correct. This is also from snopes:

    "Baby carrots are not now made from larger imperfect carrots.........The carrots now used to make "baby cut carrots" have been specifcally bred and contain more sugar than their standard sized because this extra sweetness appeals more to children....."

    Yes I was my veggies, not in chlorine though ~ which is a practice that is outlawed in several countries. Just because something is allowed here doesn't mean its a healthy thing ~ look at HFCS.

    What is the one food that you used to think was a healthy choice that you have since learned otherwise?

    For me its the Baby Carrots. Learning they are doused in chlorine and "bred" to be little ~ it grosses me out enough to not eat them anymore. What's your food?

    Carrots myth is not quite true. So eat up your carrots! http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fooddrink/a/baby_carrots.htm

    There actually is truth to it. But to each their own. I do eat carrots, just not baby carrots.

    Do "imperfect" carrots have more calories than the perfect carrots? Or less??

    Sorry, I don't believe HFCS is evil either. Too much of any sweetener can be bad for you, but HFCS alone is not the devil.

    Everything you eat has been "bred" in one way or another. Meats, plants, whatever. All genetically manipulated to suit our needs, be it size, flavor, or weather hardiness. One of my favorites, the Honeycrisp apple, was "bred" by the University of Minnesota.

    whole grains for me.

    almond milk is, unfortunately, not as great as we all think.

    COCONUT MILK TO THE RESCUE! :P

    LOL I will take my chances. Food kooks are my pet peeve. This is bad for you. That is bad for you. This food has .000002% of a DANGEROUS chemical not proven to actually do anything but let's be paranoid about it. Gluten blah blah blah.

    Carbon is a chemical. So is H2O...

    Grow your own food, slaughter your own animals, sleep easier at night, the end.
    Personally I love the taste of dirt and earthworms on my fresh-from-the-garden carrots. Seriously though, I don't rinse off all the dirt. Makes me feel all cave woman like.

    Not in bleach, I don't!

    You have presumably swum in a public bath/leisure centre pool though?
