Seriously, why eat little baby cut carrots that have been artfully lathed into their shape, when you can have real carrot sticks?
Or REAL baby carrots, little ones, pulled right from the ground?

Exactly. Especially because so much nutrient is in the skin anyway. I never understood peeled carrots (or potatoes).

If you cook baked potatoes in the oven the skin gets all crispy and crunchy. If you nuke 'em, they're soggy and chewy...have you ever had a baked potato from, say, Wendy's? Yeah.
