Maybe it's just because I'm indoctrinated, but the orange carrots in the picture are the only ones that look tasty.

Indoctrination. Look at how much color is added to food. The reddest ketchups sell better, as do the yellowest mustards, and the whitest breads. I hate to cry conspiracy theory, but I really do think that American culture in particular has been groomed to think and eat this way by food suppliers. When you can color / bleach something, you can hide flaws.

Not in Germany. I so which they had more real bread here in the UK.
