"Whats Up Doc" The Color Orange

This will blow your mind. I have always been a snack eater but recently I decided to make my snacks a bit more healthy steering away from things like chips and salsa. Now I snack on cottage cheese, gold fish and carrots. Last night I was interested in where most of out carrots come from in the US so I Googled it, most of them are from California and Michigan. Roughly 1.5-billion pounds of carrots are annually produced and marketed in the United States. This translates into over 600,000 tons of carrots per year with an annual value of at least $40-Million dollar.

So to get to my point I came across something much more interesting then everyones healthy obsession with snacking on Carrots. A man (name not found on site) has decided based on his roommates idea that if he eats enough carrots he will turn orange. So this guy will eat a metric ton of carrots to see if he will actually change colors. Supposedly there is a condition known as Carotenemia. This condition says its possible. Now I thought Morgan Sprurlock was crazy when he ate McDonalds for a month in his documentary Super Size Me.Me to see if it was unhealthy! Well Morgan we all appreciate the entertainment factor but seriously it doesn't require a documentary about eating fast food to prove its unhealthy to consume for a month. as for you Orange man, I have not looked into it but im sure you wont die eating carrots or have liver failure like Mr Spurlock but can you tell me why you want to turn orange like and Oompa loompa just to prove your roommate wrong. I assume thats why you are doing this. Maybe you should consider he us using you are his ginny pig for his genius ideas. I can tell you an easier way to turn orange, self tanning. The people I see walking out of those tanning salons always look orange to me. I wish you luck orange man. but I think your a bit crazy. I suggest you check this out.
