>eating unpeeled carrots
Just stick to putting them in your ass, anon. Stay the course.

>>11700238
what are the risks of sticking unpeeled carrots that may have soil ingrained in them up your ass

>>11700184
That's not soil, dipshit. If you wash it there shouldn't be any dirt on it. The brown is discoloring. That's literally it. If you bit into a piece of sand, trust me, you know know it. Now fuck off you stupid faggot.

>>11700250
so what are the risks

>>11700276
Carrots have extremely thin skins which means they're much more absorbent of chemicals used in industrial farming. Probably not that big of a deal really but I think that's why people peel them

You won't die, but soil is contaminated with pesticides that are not good for you long term. That is why they recommend you wash your veggies thoroughly.

>>11700281
>>11700283
thank you

>>11700184
That's not soil in your pic, those are spots like the "eyes" on a potato, where the roots branch out. So, no risk, but (if you're leaving your carrots unpeeled for health reasons) know that your body benefits very little from eating that drab form of fiber, and carrots are tastier peeled.

>>11700297
im just lazy and want to be able to grab a big carrot out of my fridge and eat it

>>11700302
Use a veggie brush under running water. Only takes a second. A little farm soil won't kill you though. Or you could just buy a bag of peeled baby carrots.

>>11700359
I just jerk them off under water for a minute or so then eat them

>>11700362
Well done, m8

>>11700184
You will get AIDS, gonorrhea, DIArrhea and penis mushrooms.

>>11700184
probably some disease from the dirty spics who work on the farm

>>11700184
carrots have high amount of pesticides so always peel them.
>"Some fruits and vegetables can have nine different pesticides in a single serving," said Jane Houlihan, the senior vice president for research at the Environmental Working Group.

>Peaches top the "dirty dozen" list because they require a lot of pesticides to grow, according to the Environmental Working Group.

>The rest of the dirty dozen include:
Apples
Bell peppers
Celery
Cherries
Nectarines
Strawberries
Kale
Lettuce
Imported grapes
Carrots
Pears

>t. grasshopper

>>11701480
So what, I should be peeling my lettuce? How the fuck

>>11700184
Prolly echoli

Wash and scrub carrots with one of these in the sink. Chop them up with a chef knife then eat them. They taste best this way, for some reason.

>>11701534
i just do a soak in water with couple tablespoons of vinegar

I scrub them with pic related. Focus on the ugly spots that disturb you, the rest of it is fine with a wash.
Dont peel too deep ever, a carrots best flavor is right on the surface. You know what the core part is like. Flavor is on the skin.

>>11700281
>chemicals used in industrial farming. Probably not that big of a deal really but I think that's why people peel them
That might be why neurotic people peel them, but if you're that worried just save yourself a step and buy organic. The real reason why people peel vegetables like carrots and potatoes goes back long before industrialized farming. It is a class thing. The King/Queen would NEVER be served any vegetable with a peel on it. People tend to ape the manners of those above them socioeconomically in an effort to make themselves seem higher status than they are. In the case of peeling vegetables it became such a thing that a lot of people would eating unpeeled as beneath them. And being served them as an insult. This is kind of an antique thing, and many chefs are now serving baby veggies with the skin on. But the prejudice against unpeeled veggies persists in our culture.

carrots taste better with the skin

do you guys also have mom take the crust off your nutella sandwiches?

>>11700184
I just can't stand the sight of unpeeIed carrots. Not when most of them look delicious underneath.

I use a speed peeler on carrots and turn them into ribbons. Get 1kg of carrots for 40p(about $0.60)

Sometimes slice 3 or 4 carrots into ribbons and just eat them from a bowl with some oil and vinegar.

>>11700184
I peel any store bought carrot because they're all grown by monoculturalist megacorporations which saturate the soil with chemicals, even the organics from chain groceries like walmart and kroger. However, I just scrub my homegrown carrots with a course brush because they were grown in a living, sustainable soil w/o harmful chemicals.

>>11701643
Why do you think that is a sound plan? Surely you realize that whatever evil chemicals might be in the soil are perfectly capable of penetrating past the skin of the carrot, right? I mean, it's a fucking root. Its purpose is to absorb things from the ground. Do you really think that peeling it somehow gets rid of all the "chemicals"?

>>11700184
Well that soil may or may not be fecal matter from the previous user's asshole. It's important to get to know your carrot vendor and buy only "never used" carrots. As the human fecal matter, there's all kinds of nasties carried in it including noro virus, salmonella and of course, AIDS. Do not be tempted to peel the carrot, as the sharp ridges created by the peeler can tear your asshole and cause bleeding. Not you have a bleeding asshole with an AIDS-infested carrot in it.

>>11701613
>baby veggies
that's so cruel :(

>>11700184
I eat them all the time like that. Just too lazy to clean them. At worst you'll get some parasites, but you'll learn to live with them. Free low maintenance pets.

I buy organic carrots because theyre only slightly more expensive. Ill slice off any obvious dirty parts and rinse in hot water but I leave 90% of the skins on.

>>11701750
>Ill slice off any obvious dirty parts
why don't you just wash them you mong

>>11700184

>>11701741
>ok with ingesting pesticide laden GMO monsanto crops and too lazy to even run them under water for 10 seconds

american living at its finest

>>11701760
>he thinks I live in America
What a moron

>>11701753
Im a vegan so the best way to get b vitamins is from ingesting small amounts of soil.

>>11701762
even thirdies are smart enough to rinse all their veggies

its only in 1st world counties where people are so lazy they just give up making an effort

then you must be either UK/AUS/NZ

>>11700184
Well you know how people are getting e coli from lettuce? There's probably human shit in the water or soil being used.
When you don't wash or peel your carrots, you're at a higher risk for eating whatever is in the soil.

>>11701766
Think about your life for a minute.

>>11701773
>human shit
yep

>>11701772
>everything he thinks is wrong
>continues thinking anyway
Please stop.
When you unironically believe there are pesticides on a carrot claimed to have parasites you should've realized you don't have the brains for thinking.

>>11701793
>all pesticides work for all parasites
>parasites dont ever become pesticide resistant

must be all the chemicals you are ingesting clouding your brain

>>11701801
>person claims his carrots have parasites
>person meant by this his carrots have not been sprayed with pesticides
>anon goes ahead an bleat about how pesticides are useless, therefore person must have eaten carrots with pesticides anyway
????
Lol, I changed my mind, please continue!

>>11701801
>I have no evidence for this thing but it's technically possible
You just sound like a paranoid loser

>>11701741
if you can be "too lazy" to do miniscule tasks like washing your food before eating I'd hate to see the "house" you live in

>>11701835
>lacking reading comprehension this much
>not having actual knowledge that pests develop resistances to pesticides over time (like how bug spray formula keeps changing to combat this)

you are actually retarded

>>11701835
just because veggies are sprayed with pesticides doesnt mean they are immune to all bugs, it depends on the pesticide and amount used. You can still find worms and dead flies in conventional produce that use pesticides.

>>11701854
>talks about reading comprehension
>mindlessly continues about how pesticides are useless while it's clearly said there weren't any pesticides
Thanks for continuing, you beautiful simpleton!

>>11701863
Go take a break, anon. Think about your bloodpressure. An Aneurysm would not help the already bad state of your brain.

>>11701865
>can only reply with reaction images like some women off twitter

enjoy your worms and e coli

>>11701873
??
I just got into this thread

>>11701850
Thanks for worrying anon. I actually have more time to clean things that matter because of the carrot thing! Didn't think about that, did you, kek.

>>11701874
I will. I've already given them names.
Here, have another gif!

>>11701880
>clean things he doesnt eat
>doesnt clean things he eats

the idiocy runs deep

>>11701890
>gets called out for (womanly behaviour)
>continue doing (womanly behaviour)

4chan is full of trannies and you must be one of them

>>11701879
Man, what are the odds that two people with equal high stupidity happen to be in the same thread at once!

>>11701892
What kind of pussy is scared of a little dirt?

>>11701897
>can't admit he's wrong
>claims the the other has womanly behavior
Oh anon, don't ever change!

>>11701900
.

>>11701903
if you are not scared of dirt why do you even bother cleaning your other things?

>>11701911
Going to get a lottery ticket, this must be my lucky day!

>>11701914
Because once the carrot is eating, I don't have to look at it anymore.
Simple!

>>11701925
why dont you eat your shit instead of flushing it down the toilet? after you eat your shit you wont have to look at it anymore too

LMAO

>>11701759
>that nice rounded top
Perfect shape for sticking up an vagina or ass

>>11701930
Hahaha, brilliant!
You won the thread, anon!

>>11701937
thank you! I claim supremacy

only because I wash my veggies my brain thinks better!

>>11700287
Spirillum and clostridium bacterias can be found in soil but hopefully you ate dirt as a kid and already have antibodies

>>11700281
The majority of pesticides used in agriculture are endemic

>>11701942
I did

>>11701613
>baby veggies with the skin on

you're supposed to peel them?
is this a meme or are you lot serious?

>>11701643
Nah, they're grown hydroponically in Mexico for the most part. I don't know that they use any particular pesticides, but the working conditions are exploitative.

You nasty

>>11701937

Eat the carrot, don't eat the carrot. Who cares? Anyways, everyone knows that carrots are good for your eyesight. Have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses?

>>11702347
Do you know the story behind the "carrots are good for the eyes" myth?
It's probably common knowledge by now but I think it's still interesting.
During World War 2 the allied forces developed radar small enough to mount on aircraft. This naturally improved their efficiency at detecting and killing airborne enemies immensely.
In order to keep it a secret that they had this technology, the created a propaganda campaign in the UK telling their own civilian population to eat carrots so they could have good eyesight, especially at night, like their pilots.
Lots of interesting stories like that about espionage, counterespionage, and general deceit during that war.

>>11700184
I keep one of those steel wool scouring pads for scrubbing carrots and potatoes. The kind that doesn't come with soap in them. Haven't had any grit in my food yet.
