Centurion

Despite being gaga over fries, we chose to avoid the fried
food this week. We simply chose to purchase carrot sticks.
Now, these are no ordinary carrot sticks. Nothing, and we
mean nothing, beats the perfection that is a CulinArt carrot
stick. The health benefits of this vegetable are more numerous
than a newly born litter of naked mole rats. According to
healthmad.com, the carrot is an edible root vegetable which
originated from Asia. It gains high respect in Western countries
as it has been regarded for its outstanding nutritional
and medicinal values. Not only is this delicious veggie an
excellent source of antioxidant compounds, it is certainly one
member of the vegetable group that provides endless joke
opportunities. Here's a knee slapper: how do you make gold
soup?? Answer: Take 22 carrots!! HAH!! When you head into
CulinArts with hunger pains, it's often tempting to grab
something "substantial." However, these colorful veggies
from God's garden are possibly the best way to infuse nutrition
and tasteful explosion into your diet. So don't be shy
next time you enter through that CulinArts turnstile; grab
yourself a handful of the sweetest, vitamin-filled sticks of
delight and take "CARROT" of yourself.
