    carrots are so gross, every time I see someone eat one, I think " WTF is wrong with them? How could they willingly eat that thing" It's my most hated food...

    Wrong.

    Terpenoids (organic compounds found in many foods that give them flavor) develop earlier than sugars in carrots and if you harvest carrots too early, the terpenoids will impart a bitter or soapy taste. Harvesting them at the correct time will balance out the bitter taste.

    It's what makes cumin and cilantro taste soapy too. I have noticed the last few bags of carrots I bought werent very tasty just kind of bland

    Should I write to my local carrot farmers?

    YES! Tell them if they don’t get their sh_it together and correct the situation, you will bust a cap in their overall covered *kitten*!

    Except are baby carrots even baby carrots, but adult carrots carved to look like baby carrots? There's no honesty left in the world today.

    Of course. Farmers like having their fashion sense (or lack of?) thrown in their face…mention the smell of manure as well. They love that!
