This is not new news at all. But you can buy the organic ones and all they
are is cut down carrots. I don't think they're unhealthy at all. Sure,
carrots with the peel are probably better for ya. I also know that while
kids usually like the baby ones as opposed to carrot sticks, there is a
valid reason to leave them out of their lunch. Why? They'll just throw
them away. I used to work at my daughter's school. I was sometimes there
at lunch time or right after. I could not believe how many baby carrots got
thrown away. I doubt that any kid ate them. Angela would eat them
occasionally but often they'd come home. She never threw anything away.
I'd just get it back. I had little chip and dip containers. I'd send in
hummus and baby carrots. I'd say she ate them about 1/3 of the time. Maybe
only when she was really hungry.
