"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
-Hamlet, Act One, Scene Five
This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” - (again with the Hamlet)
Sorry, they're not "perfect" or they'd taste like chocolate! But they are damn good for you and I'm glad they help you write--that's definitely an under-publicized nutritional benefit.
Most dogs like carrots; they're one of the recommended substitutes for dog biscuits for dogs with diet restrictions (allergy, kidney, all sorts of things.) My personal dogs have never been as enthusiastic about them as they are about broccoli and squash and (oh, joy!) bell pepper.
I don't like raw carrots nearly as much as cooked, myself. Asparagus is the only one I can think of that I actually prefer raw.

and I love how they resemble writing implements...
Miz, you're right. They do.
Haha...Have to laugh at what Miz wrote! And isn't there a saying of a sort that they help with eyesight...
A handy veggie if you ask me;)
The handiest, dawn. And yes, carrots are god for eyesight. Beta carotene 'n' all.
Yumm.
We had loads of carrots from our garden this summer. We love them, but, so do our dogs love the sweetness and the crunch.
Those look yummy. I think I'll go grab some out of my fridge now!
Carrots are my favourite raw veggie. Can't stand them cooked though! ~shudder~
Redbush, I didn't know dogs ate carrots, but I'm a Dog Year so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Bag Lady, they are. Hope you enjoyed yours.
Reb, mine, too. But I can eat them cooked.

An ideal snack, but Crabby sure does have a good point.
You make a compelling point, Crabby.
Hilary, yes.
I wish I felt the same way, Leah.
I'd be 25 pounds lighter....
Frank, you could try to acquire the taste. If you try, then you'll find they're a lot like potato chips, if your imagination co-operates.
