I just want you all to know that, as my office-mates munch on a bunch of cupcakes, with delicious-looking frosting, I'm chewing on some baby carrots.

They have a lot more vitamins and minerals, they have antioxidants, they also have a lot more fiber. Yeah, they're still basically just simple carbs but they're not just empty carbs like a potato is.

Potato = white bread
Sweet potato = wheat bread

they had m&ms on them.
