RE: What does the color of your food mean?

Thanks for sharing.

Nutritional content aside, did you know the 'Carrots are good for the eyes' is a myth that Britain pushed during WWII to hide the fact that they created radar?


The British Royal Air Force wove a fabricated tale about skilled fighter pilot John “Cats’ Eyes” Cunningham, saying that he attributed his excellent night vision to a steady diet of carrots. Soon, it was mandated that everyone should eat carrots so they could see better during the mandatory blackouts, but this was mere propaganda. The Royal Air Force was actually utilizing radar to locate German bombers before they reached the English Channel (Source: How Stuff Works).
