[QUOTE="witzend, post: 593345, member: 99"] If these are the only vegetable these families ever see, why would you want to take them away from them? Are they as good as carrots bought whole and prepared by you at home? No. Are those as good as organic carrots bought whole and prepared by you at home? No. Are those as good as organic carrots grown in your garden and not peeled and eaten whole? No. So, where do you draw the line for poor and/or busy people who'd prefer to give their children something other than candy or french fries to snack on? They are REAL carrots, cut to a two inch length, and rounded at the edges. They are purchased by people who prefer to purchase prepared foods for their families. It is a carrot. I don't get why you're so upset that someone chooses to buy prepared vegetables for their children. Do you have the same problem with frozen peas or beans? Do you have the same problem with canned tomato sauce? It's disturbing to me that you didn't even bother to read the article that describes exactly what these carrots are - which is not in any way "highly prepared". They're cut, rounded, washed, and packed. It's not how I choose to eat, but for a lot of families this is the ONLY vegetable -[I] a real carrot peeled and cut for them - [/I]that their children are [I]ever [/I]going to see. What do you have against that? Have you ever met a teenager who doesn't know how to peel an orange? I have. Do you know why? Because no one ever bought them ANYTHING other than MacDonalds. You're entitled to your opinion and to shop for your family how you prefer to shop, but to call cut carrots that would otherwise be tossed out as garbage "not real food" is beyond the pale. Why would you not want other families who may not be as fortunate as you or I to have access to carrots? How does this affect you in Canada? Certainly you have different food regulations there.
