Ever do the carrot test, Bob?

Buy a regular carrot with the top still on.  Buy and organic carrot with the 
top still on.  Cut the tops off each carrot, don't take them down all the 
way past the green/brown part.  Cut the first 1" off.  Set the organic 
carrot on your tongue for 30 seconds and then eat it.  Do that with the 
commercial carrot.  Let us know what your tongue feels like when you've done 
the commercial carrot.
