I know that. I inherited the rocket propulsion system from my father.

I believe the idea is to remove the bulk so you can get more vitamins/enzymes/hoohaa. It takes like 5lbs of carrots to make a glass of carrot juice.
I gave my juicer away a few years ago....

I always go back to Evolution, IE were we designed to eat 5lbs of carrots, or one non-existant glass of 5lbs-of-carrots juice?

If I tried that, I'd have that damn flour all over the kitchen again.

Designed to eat carrots? So juicing might anger the carrot god?

What if concentrated carrot nutrition gives people an edge, what if its a catalyst for the next evolutionary leap, creating a sort of super-human?

I have a friend who could only eat carrots for several weeks.

He turned orange.

That probably would have happened to my friend, but she stopped with the carrots when she noticed her palms turning orange.

But maybe there is some evolutionary advantage to being orange. I think jinx might be right.

I will have to watch my friend and see if he has any super powers.

OMG...I think you've just figured out the tanning salon phenomenon.

So, there's an evolutionary advantage to looking like Lindsay Lohan in your school picture?

Yup. Only high school boys find you attractive, so you either reproduce young (which you are at your fittest in terms of eggs) or you are out of the gene pool.
