1. My Dad boxed my ears.

When he said there’s people starving in China and I responded “Name one”.

2. Never understood that level of parental logic.

How is one kid forced to eat his/her food, helping that starving person?
Invite them in and share, perhaps?

3. IIRC - it was Alan Sherman that said...

.
."children in Africa still starved and I got fat."

[Permanut]

4. When I was a kid, it was "starving Armenians"..

I had no idea what an Armenian was.

5. We were never told that. We were each allowed two foods

we never had to eat. The rest we had to eat.... including liver!!!!

[Permanut]

6. What a great idea..

We had no such rule, and to this day (I'm pushing 80) I hate maple syrup and sweet potatoes.

Okay, so what were your two?

8. Squash and onions. I remember sitting at the dinningroom table

when I was very young. I didn't want to swallow the squash so I packed it in my cheeks. My cheeks got rounder and bigger. My grandmother opined that I looked like a chipmunk with my cheeks stuffed. Then my mom made the 2 veto rule. I was thrilled.

10. Great story. Iused to sneak carrot sticks into the cuffs of my pants.

12. I hid creamed corn in a napkin in a drawer at the cottage.

The creativity of kids is amazing.

11. Liver!

You poor thing

[LetMyPeopleVote]

7. Great cartoon

9. My grandma said that when I didn't like what was being served or didn't finish my plate

I didn't argue because I knew that my grandparents and uncle starved in Germany post WWII even with the rations. I didn't take it as me eating food I didn't want was helping others.. It was more of a shutup and be grateful thing.
