None of my real life friends could answer this question. Now it’s up to you folks. The local Kroger’s sells $20 bags of carrots. Lots of them are on display. As large a portion of the display is devoted to these bags of carrots as to 1 pound and 3 pound bags of carrots and those pitiful carrots used for veggie trays. What need would someone have for so many carrots all at once?
juicers or horse people
Thanks. We got both type of people here and I noticed the arrival of the big bags of carrots about the same time that one of the clerks pointed out to me that all the new shelf space devoted to vegetarian items was because the vegans had been asking and asking.
the carrots are just a bit less esthetically pleasing
the horses don’t care what the carrot looks like and they are a great training aid
Great for teething puppies and training dog also. Of course they look pretty much the same when you scoop the yard so they must go straight through.
the horses do have better grinders 
'course it doesn’t matter much for training 
Us Veggies do go through a lot of carrots. If the kids ate vegetables then one of those $20 bags would probably do us for a couple of weeks or so.
(And before anyone says - it’s Aspergers kids. They don’t even eat chocolate willingly.)
I think it’s juice people. Watch for grocery store patrons with orangey-yellow skin.
I hear John Boehner’s sneaking over to WVa to do his grocery shopping.
My little Aspie was more into broccoli. When she was about a year old, we’d go to the supermarket, and as soon as we hit the produce department, she’d be yelling “BROK-lee! BROK-lee!” I’d have to weigh out a head and give it to her to munch before going anywhere else in the store.
Come to think of it, she still gets all worked up about broccoli…

Good - they can keep him there, too.
Carrots keep just fine if you stop 'em drying out or sprouting in the fridge, so there’s no reason not to buy in bulk if the price is right.
I saw on the bag yesterday that they were “Juicer Carrots”.
Supposedly very good for you, carrot juice.
You have vegans in WV?
I was surprised that they were in our little town and in such numbers to demand so much shelf space.
There is another smaller grocery store a bit closer to where I live where I go when I want the strange cuts of meats. They have quite the selection of pig trotters there.
It’ll be those damned Irish.
My dad loved crubeens, my wife loves zimne nó ki, jellied pigs feet. I’ve got two packages of trotters in the freezer right now. My mother’s taste in food is also “challenging.”
If you are a juicer, one person can consume a 25 pound bag of carrots in a few days. If you have a large family, well, you do the math. Emily is right, though. Drinking that much carrot juice will cause your skin and the whites of your eyes to turn yellow, which I know from experience.
My family called jellied pigs’ feet studzenina. Here is a picture from the internet that looks nothing like my Mom’s pigs’ feet. This is way more attractive looking but probably not near as tasty. Forget the lemons. Grandpap put vinegar on his. The jelly is to die for.
