I can't eat raw carrots. They just scare me.  I used to have bad dreams about food tasting awful and then I couldn't eat it for a few years.  It's happened with popcorn, school french fries (sorry, "potato wedges"), plain potato chips, even toothpaste.  Now it's happening with healthy food.  Carrots are the first to go.  They're fine when they're cooked but when they're raw....they're all dried up and gross looking like I'm eating dried flesh. mmm
