I'm glad someone beat me to it. How anyone could fall for a claim that
whole baby carrots are an amalgamation of bits and pieces is beyond

Food faddists make up the most absolute bosh about food in order to
scare people into falling for their ridiculous claims about what
constitutes healthy vs unhealthy eating practices.
