Is Eating Healthy That Hard (The Carrot Video) – The Renegade Health Show Episode #500

Take a look…

PLEASE PASS this video along to your friends and family members! Here’s the link you can put in your email…

      Seriously Dude-If that is the BEST you can come up with for your 500th CELEBRATORY SHOW,we are all in serious creative trouble !
      Sorry for the candor,but that was downright
      embarrassing .Also,there was no real sense of
      inclusion for ANY of us out here.Perhaps the
      next milestone show should reflect just a little “sharing” of the celebration -with your
      loyal and supportive audience.Party On !

      lots of fun on many levels. ben and wilhemina, lighten up and laugh a little! it was creative and insightful. maybe for the 1000th you can find a way to share that the plants actually really do want us to ingest them. i had a very profound experience many years ago where that was clearly shared. would love to share it with you sometime. thanks for 500 episodes of love, laughter, insight, intelligence, compassion, common sense, health, and plain ol’ joy! here’s to the next 500. thanks and love peace and joy for ALL life!

      Loved the Carrot Video! As a nurse of 29 years, I can tell you that it is cheaper to be healthy than it is to be sick!!! I am in the process of advancing my education so that one day I can promote preventative medicine -through healthy life choices- as a nurse practitioner.

      Keep up the good work and keep on teaching the world about eating healthy!

      oh boy, i feel like a ‘veggie cannible’ cause i just had some carrot juice..dont tell the ‘carrots’ in the video, they may have to run for their lives when they see me coming after them with my juicer! moohahaha!

    65. Kym Hutcheon
      2:08 am on February 9th, 2010

      Yeah, that was cool. I didn’t think I would ever laugh at somebody in a carrot suit, but there were a couple of gut laughs there.

      I also like the shorter format. A couple of key points (one beginner, one intermediate?) a video is plenty.

    66. Em
      2:20 am on February 9th, 2010

      so cute!!

    67. Kathy
      3:50 am on February 9th, 2010

      NO, it is not difficult, but it does depend on the hod food in general has on your life, and the choice, though your own, should be made as a consideration to others! If we are ill and constantly suffering from all sorts of ailments, we are a strain on society and our families, so from that point of view, we should make the wisest decision and that is change your diet if it is making you sick!

    82. Frances
      12:00 pm on February 9th, 2010

      It’s an adorable video, but I think the message could use tightening.

      It started out with, “You think healthy food tastes bad?… Well, it tastes better than dirt!” That falls a little flat as an argument.

      The section on the troubles of carrots in life was very confusing. People taunting carrots? I don’t even know what that can be a metaphor for. The carrot’s employment troubles are similarly inexplicable. The stalker bunny is at least completely funny and cute, so it can easily be forgiven for being outside any message of the video.

      The chips and Twisslers guy really likes whatever is in that plastic cup. Is that good? (Maybe we’re supposed to infer that he’s drinking his lettuce, but if that’s the case you should drop another hint.)

      The point about cable being very expensive and not a necessary expenditure was a good one, though the hulu reference assumes expensive high-speed internet access and weakened the argument a little.

      The final point that health is worth fighting for was a good one too.

      Overall, the pure cute makes up for a lot. I enjoyed the video. What I learned from it is another matter.

      I learned that health is worth having, and worth prioritizing budget-wise, and that healthy food tastes better than dirt. Also, that carrots have a hard time when they try holding down employment and using cell phones.

      I think this video could be hugely improved by rewriting and rerecording the voice-over narrative.

    83. Beth
      12:19 pm on February 9th, 2010

      4:01 pm on February 9th, 2010

      hey Kevin, however much i appreciate your candid messages, this americana disappoints – in my (limited) eyes its removed from nature, the living sap (carrot), removed from the have-nots & the poor and not really funny – a sense of humor (sic) for a small (tv/fast food?) generation and, does it have a point..? i don’t see it :( p
