Why do we peel carrots? And apples?

[Visitor8]

I hate the taste of carrot skin, cooked or uncooked so I always peel them.

I don't cook with apples but we never peel them to eat them whole

If its organic, I don't peel, if its not organic, I peel.

I don't like the taste of carrot skin so I peel mine.
Sometimes I peel the skin off apples for the boys, sometimes I don't. I don't peel the skin off for me though.
