Eh… What’s up Doc?
A doctor your may not be (and if you are, I’d welcome your input on beating sicknesses out of your body by smashing them on the treadmill, as it seems to be a somewhat contentious subject in the local medicinal community).
Regardless – Bugs Bunny had 9 lives or more, and so can you. Errr – put yourself in better survivability status on your current one by consuming these delicious, crisp, orange vegitation that was once coveted as a snack of kings by the beast roaming the ancient wilderness. Let’s drop these carrots through the Cave Chow rabbit hole and see what we find.
NUTRITION – 4 stars
- The highest source of Vitamin A that you can get, via converted B-carotene. Helps protect night vision.
- High in anti-oxidants and many cancer-fighting properties, like many other Cave Chow items
- Great protector against colon cancer, and can also help regulate blood sugar
- Believed by many doctors to be a remedy for intestinal problems, including fighting parasites
SIMPLICITY – 5 stars
- You don’t need a microwave, pot, pan, or fire to enjoy these tasty snacks. Just a smile on your face.
- To note – carrots only release 3% of their valuable B-carotene when eaten cold or raw. Cook them, and you can get up to 39% You gotta burn it out. Give it up!
AFFORDABILITY – 4 stars
- Buy them raw and peel them yourself, and you can get under $1 a pound. If you’re a time-strapped runner and gunner and you need that night vision fast, grab a pre-peeled bag for just over $1 per pound. BOOM!
There was a reason Bugs Bunny was always happy, relaxed, creative, and smart. It’s not because of the marketing and design at Walt Disney – it’s because of his B-cerotene consumption. A habit we should all strive to duplicate.
Besides, who wants to be blind at night!
