Hmm. Actually, carrots are good for your eyes. And so is broccoli and other veggies. But if you already have some predisposition to having bad eyes your diet will not help prevent the worsening, just slow it down, and only marginally. Depending on your conditions it may be not about vitamin deficiency but the shaping and distortion of the eye.

did you watch tv 3cm away from it? or do anything like look at the sun? It's not a bunch of crap because it's been proven many times, you can't match hundreds of experiments vs you

@MoyraAngel not necessarily true, getting more vitamin A doesn't improve night vision per se, but rather prevents night vision from becoming abnormal

@stdrange yea the food processor with a grater attachment works great for carrot salad

@stdrange the grateing carrots is alot quicker and easier than the way Alton does it, but a food processor gives you carrot mush.

Yes, Alton. In fact, I love the hat.

carrot salad is a Norwegian dish...its really good

[stdrange]

Do yourself a favor and just grate the carrots, especially if you have a food processor. Doing it with a peeler like Alton does takes FOREVER.
