2. Carrots provide a reason to travel. There is a Carrot Museum<\/a> in Britain. Though where in Britain, I’m not sure; because after spending several minutes on the site, I couldn’t find a location. However I did find a few more reasons to love carrots. Hint: this may be an on-line venue, so maybe it’s just an imaginary trip…..dream on!!<\/p>\n 3. Carrots make great musical instruments. Although they are mainly carved into horns and Flutenveg<\/a>s, you will be totally amazed, at what one can do with a carrot – as a musical instrument. Just click on the link.<\/p>\n 4.

The site Care2.com<\/a> lists 10 benefits of these crunchy power foods, including – the prevention of Cancer, Heart Disease and Stroke. This is serious stuff.<\/p>\n 6.

That is, you burn more calories by eating a carrot, than you add to your body. So in effect you could actually lose weight simply by eating carrots…..just remember everything in moderation.
