Carrots.
Image

Yes, you heard me. Carrots. It's that simple. Pick a color you want and just eat them. Reasons for eating them instead of other bad crap are:
  • Orange or whatever color you want
  • Crunchy
  • Healthy
  • Refreshingly cold (unless you're a dolt and don't refridgerate them)
  • You don't make a complete mess and your keyboard/mouse stay clean (though eating like a swine won't really help)
See this? That's all.

What's that? Just how healthy carrots are? Here's wikipedia to the fucking rescue (like with the rest of the thread):
  • Carbohydrates 9 g
    - Sugars 5 g
    - Dietary fibre 3 g
    Fat 0.2 g
    Protein 1 g
    Vitamin A equiv. 835 μg 93%
    - β-carotene 8285 μg 77%
    Thiamine (Vit. B1) 0.04 mg 3%
    Riboflavin (Vit. B2) 0.05 mg 3%
    Niacin (Vit. B3) 1.2 mg 8%
    Vitamin B6 0.1 mg 8%
    Vitamin C 7 mg 12%
    Calcium 33 mg 3%
    Iron 0.66 mg 5%
    Magnesium 18 mg 5%
    Phosphorus 35 mg 5%
    Potassium 240 mg 5%
    Sodium 2.4 mg 0%
Stuff in percentages in recommended intake per day. You might notice it doesn't have vitamin K for which it kinda sucks, but it's got vitamins A, B1-3, B6, and C. Now that's good, yeah.

For your information, I eat 0.001 metric fuckton (which is 1 metric fuckilogram) of carrots per week. Yeah. I'm as healthy as a red crab rabbit.


Now to the bad part.

You've probably heard of hyperalimentation. If not, you've probably heard of hypervitaminosis. If not, you're probably gonna understand when I say vitamin poisoning.

Yes, vitamins are all good and hexagonal but overdosing them can be worse than with alcohol. Or heroin. Maybe not, but still it can get pretty bad. Since there are several types of hypervitaminosises...es, let's focus on hypervitaminosis A.

The bad stuff:
  • birth defects (ouch)
  • liver problems (bad)
  • reduced bone mineral density that may result in osteoporosis (not good)
  • coarse bone growths (ugh)
  • skin discoloration (disgusting)
  • hair loss (do not want)
  • excessive skin dryness/peeling (that's not very good)
  • idiopathic intracranial hypertension (in other words, your brain will have a tiny iota too much pressure on it)
Which comes to the point where I realize that I have about 130% recommended intake per day. Assuming that I eat the whole 1kg pack of carrots in a week. Which I don't because it usually takes less.


But hey, apart from the horrible diseases and conditions it can cause, at least you can't really get fat from those.

I can't eat carrots unless they are cut up very small and put into something else, can't stand them. I'm not saying carrots suck and noone should eat them so don't flame me. :P

This statement is easily denied by finding one thing that is disgusting with sauce.

Would you eat chocolate with tabasco? :mrgreen:


anyway, some (or most even) vitamins are only useable (yea my word picking skills are awesome´) by the human body when they're boiled.

Raw carrots still own though :18
