I actually had this happen to me as a little kid. I had to go to the hospital because they needed to check if I was jaundiced. Turned out it was just that my favorite foods are carrots and squash. Eating more vegetables isn't a bad thing.

That's both a yes and no. Veggies are good. Overindulgence is not.

Carrots are quite heavy on sugar. Most "root fruits" are.

It's a typical problem people run into when trying to loose weight via dieting.

Edit: Three carrots a day shouldn't be a problem though.

Eating too much of anything is bad for you. Carrots are only a problem if someone is trying to diet and allows themselves infinite vegetables because vegetables are healthy though. Which is a silly thing to do.
