My mum was a lot nore geographically specific. Apparently it was the children in Biafra were the ones starving when I didn’t want to eat brussels sprouts. 🤮
When my daughters were young the older one taught the younger one to say “my stomach hurts” when they didn’t like the food. I would show them videos of starving African kids, have them write a donation letter, and then they had to sit back at the table with cold food and eat what was served an hour ago.
They learned to be grateful QUICK. Some of those videos are BRUTAL.
Tossed in 2tbs oil, paprika, garlic whatever, and Parmesan. Place on sheet tray and roast at 425F/218C° for 12-16 minutes and shake half way through. When dark spots start showing pull tray from the roaster and let rest for 1-2 minutes ✅
Ok so broccoli still sucks? This recipe works great with asparagus but I also add sliced almonds to the oil mix and toss it all together to roast.
But do they really make you physically ill? I mean, I used to gag, as a kid, but kids can be picky eaters so my parents making me eat foods I didn’t like is one of the few things I don’t hold against them.
I just excised broccoli from my life as soon as I was able; never looked back.
Before that I even tried to put them in the car, drive them to the hospital, and (kindly)threaten them with needles and surgery. I got all the way to the hospital before they quickly called my bluff… but magically their stomach didn’t hurt and they asked for McDonalds on the way home. Little shits 🙃

There are starving homeless people on the streets too, mom.
Why are you only mentioning the people you can’t personally get up and go help right now, mom?

I like how proud you are of being mildly abusive to your children.
If I don’t do it, someone who doesn’t love them will.
At least now they know what to look for and are incredibly well adjusted after 20 years. Good kids and they still call me ✅😁
Actually, no. But it’s clearly too late to matter, so you go ahead and comfort yourself with that thought.
How are you doing today? If you need someone to talk to, please reach out.
Abusive? For showing them the reality of people far less fortunate and teaching them not to waste food?
How?
Found the participation trophy kid
lol
As though the topics are even remotely related.
Not a parent, eh?
This is great advice for parents of children who literally get sick from eating broccoli
These kids literally get sick from eating broccoli, but fries and bacon are all good. Truly a miracle of science.
OK? Those don’t literally taste like feces.
If your broccoli tastes like feces you’re doing something terribly wrong along the way
No, it all tastes like that. Everybody’s. Without exception.
Boiled ❎
Steamed ❎
Wok hey ❎

So, as a fellow broccoli hater, respect.

It makes me start to feel queasy even if I don’t know it’s in there.
