Carrots or fries?

Told to Eat Its Vegetables, America Orders Fries - NYTimes.com
Despite two decades of public health initiatives, a study found Americans still aren’t eating enough vegetables.

Interesting, I eat vegetables everyday...

I have never seen a carrot machine.

I too have never seen a carrot machine, Shuji.  But then, I've never seen a fries machine either.

some of the commercials for them are listed here.

Now, seeings how Friench Fry's are really Potatoes, can't we say that we are eating veggies anyway?

Thanks a bunch (sorry) for those links, Orion!  Yeah, the corruption via bribes to members of Congress is such that nothing gets done - nothing, that is, which might help the majority of citizens.  Those assholes block heath-care reform and now they don't want kids to eat healthy food.  If there's a Hell, there'll be a Special Place set aside for do-nothing politicians.



I like those baby-carrots advertisements!  Imagine:  advertisements which I actually like.  (I'm partial to the cute gal with the automatic baby-carrots gun.)  If more television advertising was done with the humor and verve evident in those "commercial announcements" about baby carrots, U.S. television wouldn't be half so maddening.

That commercial is interesting.  If they get the younger ones to eat healthier I'm for it.  I don't like how some parents give their kids junk food just to keep them quiet.


I'm in a baby carrot mood...  I'm going to buy some tomorrow. xD

Carrots are always tasty. I love them cooked in almost any way. \o/

[Vertigo]

I love raw carrots.

Carrots.


Then again, fries are awesome when they're not boiled in fat but rather heated in the oven.

[Shuji]

I like carrots cooked in a stew... : D

[0235]

no way, fries all the way! but are potatoes that bad for you if they are cooked correctly?

[Zanibas]

Carrots are great...except when steamed. Just no. Please...

Now...brocolli with cheese. Very good steamed.

Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiies. Must be deep fried in animal fat (to increase the size of my humongous American belly). But series, anything deep fried is pretty much a winner.
