Thank You Thursday

Dear Carrots,

Thank you so much for literally improving my husband's eye sight. He's been wearing glasses since he was in high school. Sometime in 2007 or 2008 (hard to remember exactly when) I started making him a sack lunch to take to work, a lunch which included fresh carrots. I don't mean to take the credit here because he ate those carrots faithfully.

Over the past several years he's used his glasses less and less and hasn't really bothered to go to the eye doctor until just yesterday. And only then because he's about to start a new job and wanted to know if he needed to get eye insurance. He came home and reported that his vision has improved and he no longer needs glasses.

How does a 39 year old man suddenly have better vision? It's too big of a coincidence that this improvement happened after regular consumption of carrots. The doctor did tell him that because of his age he would likely need reading glasses in the next 5 years to so. I say, let's keep eating carrots and see if that's true or not.

Let food be thy medicine.
