Stay alert to the impending carrot menace!
Whenever I hear “Center for Science in the Public Interest”, like when I hear “PETA”, I pretty much ignore what they have to say. They are primarily fanatics who can’t just be satisfied with their own paranoid peccadilloes and phobias, they want everyone else to be frightened as well. Funk them.

I can remember when the Food Police used to call these healthy foods.

Could it be that The Center for Science in the Public Interest is becoming more conservative???
Nah.... maybe they just screwed up and let some of the real data get out.
The government should pass a law that no food can be sold which contains even a trace of DHMO.
