Received this email from a friend. Does anyone know if this is true??????

Did you know this about 'baby' carrots?

The 'cute' cocktail carrots that you buy in grocery stores come from
deformed crooked big carrots. They are put through a machine to become
small cocktail carrots. This part everyone knows.
After they are cut to size they are soaked in large vats of water
mixed with chlorine to preserve them........ The same chlorine you use
for
your
swimming pools. The reason for this is because they don't have the
protection of
the skin so they use a good amount of chlorine.
Notice that after you have stored them in the fridge for a while ,a
white film forms on them.....it's the chlorine coming to the surface.

At what cost do we risk our health to have aesthetically presentable
VEGGIES .....??????
Well Folks...... I think after reading this we will all start making
our

own carrot sticks out of fresh carrots and keep them in the fridge in
water
( a few at a time), right?
