A carrot is NOT a suitable vegetable

Please settle an argument for me.

DH and I are both trying to improve our diets on the run up to Christmas, cutting down on booze, making food swaps etc.

This evening he has sat down in front of the television with a carrot instead of a bag of crisps. I know, I should be praising him right?

It’s just that I can’t forget my mother telling me that carrots are high in sugar and therefore not a diet food.
They also have suggestive connotations due to their phallic shape and I think if he is going to insist upon eating carrots he could at least cut them up so that they resemble something less crude.

He’s told me I’m barking mad.

But am I?

Yes

nocoolnamesleft · 21/10/2023 21:55

A carrot is rather healthier than a bag of crisps. YABU.

oksothisisusnow · 21/10/2023 21:56

Yes, you're barking mad.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 21/10/2023 21:56

What you want is a turnip.

Bit bored are we? 🤨

Got2getout · 21/10/2023 21:56

You’re being ridiculous. And rather childish. It’s veg, it’s full of vitamins and minerals and fibre. Much much better than crisps.

Thedogscollar · 21/10/2023 21:56

Sorry I agree with your husband OP.

Doggymummar · 21/10/2023 21:56

They are full of sugar but the rest is batshit op

Lotta0 · 21/10/2023 21:56

What the hell? Hmm
They aren't high in sugar and they aren't dicks.
Hope that helps.
You utter loon Grin

oksothisisusnow · 21/10/2023 21:57

I'm sorry, I can't take this seriously. The phallic carrots!! Not allowed in the livingroom!

Weefreetiffany · 21/10/2023 21:57

Hope he said “what’s up doc?” A La bugs bunny. But yeah Defo healthier than crisps but probably slight more enjoyable than a handful of kale

Universalsnail · 21/10/2023 21:57

Yabu 😂

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 21/10/2023 21:57

Yes, you are insane.

ShatteredPeace · 21/10/2023 21:58

You are nuts OP. You are criticising your husband for eating a carrot. Either a wind up or you are beyond ridiculous.

McIntire · 21/10/2023 21:58

No longer crude but a crudite

devildeepbluesea · 21/10/2023 21:58

You’re either a troll or a complete wanker! 🤣

Normalsizedsalad · 21/10/2023 21:58

Oh my god you are an actual poster not an early night troll😱
Bloody hell, it's getting worse on here

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 21/10/2023 21:58

I sincerely hope no children saw him munching his phallic carrot.

Workingmum86 · 21/10/2023 21:59

I think hubby is trying to seduce you and a bit of rummy pumpy would be a great way to burn off the calories before Christmas!

Zanatdy · 21/10/2023 21:59

It’s very low in calories - it’s fine

You better not let him eat a banana then.

AllegroConMoto · 21/10/2023 22:00

Is this the carrot he was eating, OP?
