I went through a carrot phase when I was little in which I ate many carrots a day and absolutely loved them oddly enough. One day in school my teacher proclaimed that when she was little she ate so many carrots her skin turned orange. I took this to mean she was beginning the process of 'you are what you eat' and she was slowly but surely turning into a carrot. I kicked my carrot addiction that night.
