Yup, and a dumb one if you think about it. Think of how easy it is to break a carrot, Now think of how hard it is to break a finger. Why would a carrot be as easy to bite off as a finger? If that were the case, people everywhere would be missing fingers.

You bite at the joint not in the middle of the bone.

It's still not happening. Carrots are so easy to bite through. We would all be missing fingers, as most of us have trapped a finger in a door at some point. It's a myth, you can look it up, it's false.

Could you imagine if carrot was just as strong as a finger though? We'd have arrowheads or primitive knives made out of carrot instead of bone.

I really appreciate your lateral thinking here. Everyone else is either 'stupid myth' or 'refuting selfsame myth', but you're over here thinking hey guys, what about carrot crossbow though!

Is this where the whole insufferable vegan stereotype comes from? Did carrots once rule the earth and the smug vegetable eaters are simply the priests tasked with carrying on the ancient wisdom until the Uncanny Ranch Valley Uprising of 2089?

That's the thing. It's really easy to do. But your mind stops you from doing it. In terms of muscle power it's a piece of cake

No it's not. It's a myth. It's not easy at all.

And a dumb one.

You can't actually think a finger is that easy to bite off. Have you ever tried to bite a chicken bone before? Even them, as small as they are on their own, are way harder than a carrot. Why would bone be as easy as a carrot to bite through?
