> school menu and supermarket bagged "baby carrots" are a different animal.

I don't know about school carrots, but the baby carrots I buy at the
supermarket ARE different from the regular-sized carrots. There is a
clear stem- and leaf-end and the noticeable woody area in the middle of
larger carrots is missing. Plus, as I said earlier, they taste
noticeably sweeter. I can't speak for anywhere else, but I really think
the baby carrots sold here are really BABY carrots.
