Permit me to offer a period reference to raw carrot eating:
Enrique de Villena, _Arte Cisoria_ (The Art of Carving)
Spanish, 1423
(my translation)
The carrots, when eaten raw, are to be well cleaned of the dirt and
the thin hairs that they have, scraped with the knife that cuts them;
then remove their leaves with all of the green and cut it them into
four parts, removing the core from each part, if they are thick and
will allow it; [do] that upon serving them; and if they are long, divide
each quarter in two or three parts; and if they are thin, there is very
little core in them and know that you can eat everything together.
Does that ease your conscience a little?
