Instead of eating one carrot, you drink several. Sounds like a lot of "lunch" to me.

It was the first one I ran into in SF in 1968 and it turned me off of food Fads for life! Yech. "<br />"Most extreme food thing I've ever done is switch to no oil but olive in my kitchen.....(baking got suddenly very expensive), but after a rough period where nothing had any flavor, I cannot go back to animal based fats. Butter I use sparingly and, as you know, whipped cream tastes like lard to me these days! Even other vegetable oils I find offensive. Very weird. I guess I'm just like the rest of them....<br />Even weirder is how some folks pour a religious fervor into what they like to eat. It is not just us; the French take it very negatively personal that we Americans need ice in our beverages. They would begin these passionate diatribes against cold drinks that amazed the starch out of me, but drenched their food in butter, etc. (Worse, most of them were quite skinny!) I could usually defuse the whole subject with a massive shrug and the statement that I really thought preference depended on what you had been used to as a child.

I have to admit that they do seem to be like exercise machines, popular items for Christmas gifts and New Year's resolutions, but soon finding their way to many a thrift store. <br /><br />We do have a juicer and have used it in the past. But it takes a lot of whole fruits and vegetables to make even one glass, and to do organic juices becomes very expensive to buy. In the past all the waste bothered me even though it went into the compost. Now that we've had pigs, I'd say that would be the way to go.
