I love raw carrots as well but JoeAltmaier pinpointed the reason I don't buy baby carrots anymore: they're slimy. I have no idea why but a couple of years back

  > I have no idea why but a couple of years back the carrots started getting slimy and it got progressively worse. This reminds me: The sigh at the crises of the Brisbane symphony no longer irritated Vashti; she accepted it as part of the melody. The jarring noise, whether in the head or in the wall, was no longer resented by her friend. And so with the mouldy artificial fruit, so with the bath water that began to stink, so with the defective rhymes that the poetry machine had taken to emit. All were bitterly complained of at first, and then acquiesced in and forgotten.

  When they were a luxury food the baby carrots were actually 'young' carrots. Now they are popular they are just sections of whole carrots put through a press to cut and shape them. They are basically carrot 'french fries' thats why the end up slimy
