I hated peas. My mom would say, "The kids in China are starving. Eat your peas." I would just keep sitting there, it seemed like for hours, staring at those little green balls.
I still don't eat peas.

When You Were A Little Kid, What Did Your Mother Say To Get You To Eat Your Vegetables?

You make me feel really weird, Lois. I loved my vegetables, but I couldn't stand meat. I could eat pork and fish, but chicken and beef did not taste good at all to me. Once when I was in the hospital, I was forced to eat the meat on my plate by a hospital employee. I threw it up. She left me alone after that.
Once, again when in the hospital, we had brussels sprouts. I liked them, but none of the other kids did. So about 8 kids dumped their brussels sprouts on my plate. We all got yelled at.

my mom learned early to not try to make me eat anything I didn't want. I would vomit it right back at her if something didn't sit right. I didn't mean to be picky or difficult, but a lot of foods just didn't taste (to me) like anything a person would eat on purpose. I'm not at all picky any more though.

We were incredibly poor. If you didn't want to be hungry, you ate your vegetables, the ones you helped plant, weed, pick, clean and can.

It was Brussel-sprouts Lois.....oh gawd how or why did someone ever invent Brussel-sprouts. The trick was to cut them into the smallest pieces and submerge them in the mashed-potatoes with lots of gravy and butter, hold your nose, close your eyes and GULP.

When our kids were little Simon told them that if they ate all their bussels sprouts it would make them fart alot - 10 minutes later clean plates and two expectant kids waiting for it to begin.
