And I tend to find that they're much more drastic in that particular media outlet, which is the reason why a lot of the time the headlines we choose don't come from that.

Just to say why, if people say, oh, why?

Yes, very helpful, Ruth, thank you.

That's why.

I think it's pretty brilliant too because it makes a compelling case.

The piece highlighted that the UK produces around 700,000 tonnes of carrots every year.

And that is worth an estimated 290 million to the economy.

And yet we still tend to think of them as an afterthought, you know, rather than a powerful everyday food.

And I just want to say, you know, I think everybody will know or most of you will think carrots, vitamin A, orange, help me see in the dark.

just to quickly explain that one it's the beta carotene that is good for retinol in your eye and protecting your eyes which is why that myth or that old wives tale came about it's got an element of underlying truth but one carrot can provide 10% of the fiber that people are missing every day everybody like my kids will take because they're odd a whole carrot I think lots of kids like raw carrot for some reason rather than cooked yeah that's so because I take a whole one out the fridge and just

Me too.

A heritage tart.

And I think it's one of those things that is actually...

fair play just as long as they eat the carrots it's fantastic for them because you get all of that vitamin a you get the fiber and that type of fiber soluble as well helps your lower your ldl the what we call bad cholesterol of course within your gut it's just helping feed your gut bugs packed with antioxidants lots of you may have heard of things called carotenoids

They're linked to lower inflammation purely because of the help with the gut bugs, which then talk to your immune system inside your gut.

And I've also tried with the boys rainbow carrots.

Yes, I'm growing rainbow carrots.

I'm growing them.

I love that.

Good luck to them.
