Very often, they need emotional support as much as or even more than the practical help. That is one of the lessons learned and applied by the New McKendree Disaster Response Team from Jackson during the catastrophic circumstances in Joplin, Mo., Harrisburg, Ill., Piedmont, Mo., Moore, Okla., and, recently, 190 miles west of Jackson at Waynesville, Mo., where the 25 team members repaired flood damages in Sandy Sterling's basement with drywall finishing, painting and trim and electrical and finish work.. ...

I'm guessing that this is a reaction to the carrot's bright color, which reminds us of a kid's toy. It's orange. It's fun. On the plate, carrots are more like a candy than a vegetable...
