A carrot is NOT a suitable vegetable

[MrsFloraPoste]

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?

Awa get yersel a banana. See fa can eat the maist suggestively.

Well at least I know how to get little one eating carrots now, just tell him they're full of sugar, just like chocolate 🤣🤣🤣

It’s just that I can’t forget my mother telling me that carrots are high in sugar and therefore not a diet food.

I know this is a lighthearted thread but your mum gave you some really bad messages about food.

light hearted? - it's batshit

No bananas or peaches either then. I guess? You can't be serious.

Has anyone mentioned aubergines yet, or is that just too filthy?

Barking

God forbid he whips out his cucumber

I assumed they were higher in sugar too. That's why they are used to sweeten cake, pizza and bolognese sauces.

Ha!

Are you actually serious that the shape of a carrot makes you think they aren’t appropriate to eat? Really @MrsFloraPoste ?

Carrots are a bit tricky if you and your husband are both horses. If you are humans then a carrot is pretty good for you.

Your mum had problems if she was hung up on the sugar content of carrots. Yes fruit and veg contain sugar, no that does not make them unsuitable for inclusion in a healthy diet.

It’s fine, just save some cash by eating it afterwards.

Looking at the time of your initial post, I assume you’ve had a few.

I’ve been known to fix on bizarre ideas when I’ve been on the gin, as well. 😂

Carrots are a good diet food (31 calories in a medium carrot and filling with it) although not as good as celery, cucumber etc and frankly you are coming across as barking mad.

This has made my night the willy carrot😆

I suggest you seek help from a nutritionist.

and yes you are bonkers.

love a bit of carrot I do, maybe some hummus on the end. I eat them staring at dh .. Then he laughs at me being for a fuckwit and I thankfully go back to my dairy milk and crisps

You’re so barking mad I’m not convinced this is a real thread.

Awaits teeny tinies to tell us how unhealthy fruit and veg is with its high sugar content. It's a carrot OP.

And you sound like a 12 year old boy thinking it looks like dick.

Maybe you were aiming for classics and others will be howling and spitting out their tea soon while calling for it to be put in there.

Jesus wept

Yep, barking mad

HAHAHAHAHAHA

From dads not aloud to give toddler biscuits.
To men who can't eat carrots.
MN is full of spanners and yes op you are one.
Maybe give him a sugar mouse much healthier.

Carrots are a bit tricky if you and your husband are both horses. If you are humans then a carrot is pretty good for you.

Don't know why but this has really ticked me. You are nuts OP

Deep breath…
Ok. I can see that I was perhaps unfair to him. I have apologised.
Carrots are obviously better than crisps.
It does seem a bit odd having to watch him eat whole ones though. Perhaps that says more about me than it does about him.
