I get it. I made a concerted effort to stop using sugar in foods, and I've been quite successful. Carrots are a great way to add sweetness, so I go through a ton of those orange beauties.

Carrot cake surged in popularity during WW2 for that reason.

Carrot cake is so good! Too bad it took a world war to make it popular.
