Default beware parsnips

The message
from "Christina Websell" contains
these words:


One of the instructions was to peel the parsnips. BTW, carrot skins are
also toxic to insects.


You keep hearing that. Carrot flies can't be insects then. Another long-held
belief dashed :-(

I've discovered over the years that there is a
correlation between eating carrots and ageing. The more carrots you eat,
the older you get.


That's very true.

I haven't tested this against other foods, but I suspect that the
correlation might hold good there too.


It is. Not many people know it though.

Moral: stop eating, and live forever.


What sort of a life would it be without parsnips though? Although I suppose
parsnip wine might do, better get practising.
