A WWII Propaganda Campaign Popularized the Myth That Carrots Help You See in the Dark

My favorite thing to come from this myth is this Bill Plympton short:

Haha, people were soooo gullible back then.

Carrots don't even have Vitamin A in the proper form. They have vitamin A precursors that your body can use to make vitamin A. If you want actual vitamin A you find it in liver

*Downvoted by what I'm guessing are vegans.

But carrots cannot help you see better in the dark any more than eating blueberries will turn you blue.

Brb. Going out for blueberries

I knew this to be true and still told my kid to eat their carrots for better night vision, because it made them eat their carrots. We do what we must in the trenches.
