    Fun Carrot Fact: Don't give your bunny too many carrots. They are high in sugar and bunnies have a hard time breaking down sugar. The reason this idea became popular was because of Bugs Bunny. 😊

    When I was a kid, I was told two things:
    1) Carrots are good for your eyesight.
    2) Dogs are colorblind.
    Naturally, I felt bad that my dog couldn’t see color, so I decided to fix that. I would mix chopped carrot into his kibble and then “test” him on his colors in an attempt to cure his colorblindness. It obviously didn’t work, but I was really dedicated to it for about a month.

      A birth defect is still classified as damaged when it comes to the eyes, usually.
      If you have had to wear glasses your entire life, it's usually because of a building fault in your eye(s) and your eye(s) are still considering damaged in common speak.
      There are of course people who would rather you said "birth defect", but as far as I am aware, both are considered proper ways of addressing issues with the eyes

    Food theory idea: is it possible to live solely on free samples?
    Let’s say each grocery store contains 2 points of free samples (in a real life experiment I noted 4 but it was only one store so insufficient data). These free samples are usually things like ice cream, pretzels, or different forms of drinks from what I’ve seen. The things by themselves aren’t enough to fulfill your dietary needs. But this is all based off of sole personal observation, so I’d be interested to see the data

      no? of course not. even if you didn't have to worry about paying for gas, upkeep on your car, having an actual job, and having an actual place to sleep, this still wouldn't work. People giving out free samples don't generally allow you to just take more than 1 for a reason: they're samples. Having worked at a couple grocery stores, I can very much confirm this is the case. Even if you had the most density of sams clubs in your area and it was sample day(it's not always sample day, right?), you'd spend your whole day driving around between stores.
      This is a dumb food theory that makes no sense, and I honestly hope he doesn't see this comment.

      If you eat too many carrots you turn a yellow-ish/orange color! If they just ration out the carrots it'd be fine honestly. Good thing they stopped for a bit because once you turn orange you're actually pretty close to dying of eating just way too much carrots.

    When I first got my glasses, my parents (mostly my dad) made me eat one carrrot every day, because him and my mom believed that my vision would improve from that. Eventually they forgot (or stopped caring) so now that policy is gone, but it was definitly something.

    During anatomy class, one of the first things we learned was that Vitamin A did not help you see better but was essential to seeing. I actually didn't know the cornea one, but vitamin A is a necessary component in unbleaching your rods and cones. Essentially, when light hits your rods and cones in your eyes, they react and "bleach," causing a chemical reaction that sends an electrical impulse. But once bleached, it takes a very long time to unbleach by itself, which is where Vitamin A comes in.

    I just recently learned that this is a myth. Let me explain how:
    So basically I used to eat carrots like a rodent, just constantly snacking on them. And way back in the day my eyesight was pretty bad. But it seemed that as I ate more and more carrots my eyes improved over time. I even stopped needing glasses which was nice since I thought they made me look nerdy (which I'm proud of now). But when I told someone about how after eating so many carrots my eyes improved they said about how it's a myth that the beta-carotene improves your actual eyesight. Of course still thinking the carrots improved my eyes I was hellbent on proving them wrong, come to find out they were right. The only thing beta-carotene improves is your eyes' ability to adjust to light. So, they made me see a bit better in the dark. This is actually true as well since I used to not see anything in the dark but now I can make out shapes and even an environment. So anyway it was some strange (probably age-related) coincidence that my eyesight improved while I was munching on a ton of carrots.

I was so sick of carrots i stopped eating them for a while. years later and i now need glasses. coincidence? i think not.

      Because MatPat is a performer who's paid based on how well he entertains you, and practices and prepares for that purpose. Your teachers are educators who are paid based on how well you score on tests. MatPat being educational and teachers being entertaining are both just extras that result from having talented and skilled individuals.

    I don't think you'll see this but, Fun fact: my eye doctor said on a scale from 1 to 10 on helping your vision, Carrots: 1, but actually Spinach: 10, if you find anything refuting this claim that says carrots are infact better than spinach- lemme know- otherwise imma go back to eating spinach out of the container as a mindlessly eaten snack.

      Vitamin A is the primary vitamin that effects vision, and carrots have about twice as much vitamin A as spinach does. That being said, while a deficiency of the vitamin is bad for your vision, an excess of it, doesn't help you at all.

      The carrots help your eyes campaign was just a lie to cover up the fact that the British had discovered a way to locate German aircraft when using radar tech. If British soldiers were captured they would tell the Germans that the British ate carrots to see better. The lie kind of just carried on to the 21st century. So yes it was to get people to eat more abundant carrots and less produce but it was mainly to hide the fact that the British had discovered how to use radar tech.

    I honestly have to say, I enjoy this channel more than game theory and film theory. I'd never really thought about it, but food makes up a big part of every day of my life, and all of this information is really fascinating. And more relevant, too --- a lot of game/film theory episodes cover topics I'm not familiar with, but pretty much everything on this channel covers something I can relate to.

      @plushiesaurp2068 2 года назад +4

      Like others before me said: pills give nutrients, but not energy. There's several issues with attempting something like this, a big one of them being that human body has evolved to draw nutrition and energy from foods and drinks as it passes through the digestive system; with the help of several different processes that need various amounts of time and specific conditions to happen correctly. The friendly bacteria living in your digestive system would starve without things they could break down, which slowly damages and collapses the rest of the system too.

      @@plushiesaurp2068 Hang on, we can work with this, granted it won't be actual pills. What about food bars instead?
      You could technically make a ''one shoe fits all''
      We could make differing varieties depending on personal needs, religion, allergies... the works. this would provide the body with different substances that it needs to thrive, while also providing the needed vitamins, minerals and nutrients. then you'd just need water and that food bar.
      This, would be a pretty bleak future for the culinary experience however. That wasn't the point of this thought experiment, I don't think.

      Because Food Theory is more like Food Mythbusting.
