The Big Carrot Revolution Finds Its Legs


Emily just posted a blog that may lead to further tensions between the US and Canada. It seems some Canadian friend of hers is undermining the movement sprung by the big carrot visionary Gabe Chavez.

I'm proud to be an American, so I'm not about to trample on another North American's freedom of speech. But I will say this:The Cannuck is arguing that baby carrots are superior to big carrots due to a convenience factor. That is absurd and I already adressed this in Emily's blog.

But Emily does raise an interesting issue about the origin of baby carrots. If you are debating with a friend as to whether or not baby carrots are simply whittled down big carrots, or acutually carrots in their infant stage, it turns out, you are both right. And Emily, you may be wrong about the nutritional superiority of big carrots (the real issue may be peeled vs. unpeeled carrots).
