There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

- ex. How to tie shoes

Every disagreement is a matter of understanding
Eat a serving of carrots everyday, five servings a week reduce chances of cancer by 20% across the board
Life has no inherent value. Only rich life has value
Dont carrots have a lot of sugar tho?
Literally doesn't matter. It comes with fiber... Don't even worry about it
What are you going to eat instead? There's no staple food that isn't primarily starch
I'd skip carrots and go with lentils. Carbs but also 25-30% protein, and good fiber.
Lentils are fine, but carrots greatly reduce the chances of cancer. This isn't a negotiation, just eat the damn carrots lol
Yes sir/madam/non specified. I put some in my lentils
Yes, good girl/boy. 20% reduction in cancer with five servings a week. Cooking it is just fine
I'm proud of you, you're doing well. You're doing it, you can cook the carrots. However you want it, I just want you to be better protected against cancer
I got in an argument over this sentence yesterday, but I think it aplies here: Perfect is the enemy of good. Carrots are fine, lentils are fine, and there's always something better probably.
Keep in mind that sugars in fruit are a lot different than the highly processed sweeteners added to our foods.
