As I know Freya irl, it would be remiss of me to not mention this today. Get on with it! As close to 2 pm as you can today, May 15th, get out into your stores and panic buy carrots, tinned carrots, carrot soup, carrot cake and any other carrot product you can, as much as you can.
Help the cause!
Everyone get out there TODAY and PANIC BUY CARROTS

I somehow have a feeling that this could be considered criminal if it had any effect.
Especially so in places where the burden of proof is on the defendant to show they're not part of some market-fixing scheme.

I went into the Tesco near my workplace after finishing work and grabbed a worker by the shoulders and shook him:
"Have you got any carrots left?! Please tell me you do!" He pointed down the vegetable aisle. I grabbed a basket and ran over, scooping as many carrots into the basket as I could. A security guard made some comment and I told him, panic rising in my voice: If you knew what I knew, you'd be doing this too.
I then paid for them, frantically asking if there was anywere else they might still have carrots. I commented (truthfully!) that the Marks & Spencer in Reading was already totally out. I was directed on.
I actually went to the train station, and distractedly bought a paper but left it on the counter after sighting "someone". On the platform I looked as frantic as an expectant father, absentmindedly checking my watch every few seconds and guarding my two plastic bags of carrots and carrot batons ferociously. I phoned my housemate and Yellow Page architect extraordinaire Carl:
"I managed to get some! Yeah, as many as I could carry. Are there any left there? No?! Man, it's worse than I thought. Yeah, I don't think the news has got out here yet."
On my way back I fidgeted and looked as uncomfortable as I could. I kept grabbing a page of typing out of my bag, scanning it haphazardly, then grabbing a bag of carrot batons and poring over the nutrition / ingredient information panel. Every time I did I sighed exaggeratedly, in relief.
On my way out of the train I found a bemused person with a newspaper and inquired breathlessly:
"Is there anything in the paper about the carrots yet?!"
"Pardon?"
"The carrots! Is there anything in the paper yet?"
"Uh, no, I don't think so..."
"Thank God!" Then I ran off the train.

Pretending something incredibly drastic is making me buy two bags full of carrots and running around like a madman as publically as possible: Priceless.
