Maybe bro just eats a fuckton of beets

Semi-Funny story. I had never eaten beets before, but I started eating those beet and sea salt chips (so good!), and I freaked the fuck out when I peed red that next morning.

I have hella good healthcare through my job, and so I made an appointment with my primary care doc right away, and he was like "Any changes to your diet?"

Felt bad about wasting his time, but Jesus, I was not expecting that amount of red in the bowl!

Ask anyone in primary patient care - people make that exact same appointment because of beets regularly. Beets are absolutely delicious, but boy can they be a little mindfuck for a moment if you aren't expecting the side effect!

As someone who temporarily switched from carrots to beets due to an allergy, golden beets are a solution to avoid giving people you cook for a good scare

Don't feel bad about that! There are no stupid questions when it comes to your health and it's important to ask someone who can give you accurate answers (and there's no one better to ask than your own physician that you have a relationship with).
