The sad thing is if Americans saw a supermarket shelf of only carrots or Cheetos, its clone in color and size only, they would stuff their carts with bags of Cheetos instead of a rabbit's favorite snack. I love carrots but processed foods are America's comfort cooking
Just a PSA about this common myth - rabbits DO NOT naturally eat carrots.
Bugs Bunny popularized the idea, yet the only reason he ate carrots was as a reference/homage to Clark Gable in the 1934 film It Happened One Night.
Apparently a lot about Bugs Bunny was a reference to that character, including the phrase, "What's up, Doc?"
Anyway, I've seen pet-owners give their rabbits carrots as if it's a normal meal. It is not, and the high sugar in carrots can cause health issues. For the sake of your bunny, please get dietary advice from your pet's veterinarian - not from a cartoon that parodied a film character 85 years ago.
The next thing you'll be telling us is that we can't arbitrarily drop anvils on people.
I'd prefer a piano. I wanna be like Eddy Valiant's brother.
I, too, love carrots, but man, you can't tell me that a cheeto isn't more tasty.
Depends if you include the feeling of disgust and regret afterwards.
Lol, I think I would actually regret the carrots more, just because a single baby carrot actually has substance to it, while the cheeto is mostly air. Hard to eat a bag of carrots and not be full.
100kcal of cheetos and you are still hungry. 100kcal of carrots and you are filled up
I think I honestly prefer carrots.
People in the US actually like Cheetos?
We are a sick people.
I like both.
The jalapeno cheddar Cheetos are the best Cheetos.
To me, it isn't
I recently got my partner on board with replacing sugary snacks with carrots and it's great. Plan on making my own chutney soon from apples I foraged for recently, should be nice with some carrot sticks. Supermarket chutney is made with more sugar than fruit, I know it needs some to preserve it along with vinegar but they use way more than necessary. Any recipe I find the main ingredients are fruit/veg, any I find in the shop then the largest ingredient is sugar.
