Did your parents ever force you to eat food you didn't like as a child?

Answer 1

all the time... i was the skinniest kid in the world and then after my cuban grandmother's death i went througha few years where i just couldnt eat anything... literally the first year i ate only rye bread , water and juice.... later i added a hamburger and pickles... i persisted in this way for a prolonged period... even today i miss not having wide availabilty to platanos for frying... but find Turkisk / Arabic mediteranean food a good substitue for picadiou etc...

Answer 2

They didn't force me, but I had an option... either eat what was made for me, or go hungry

I think more parents need to keep doing that... It's friggin hilarious when you see a 4 year old telling adults where theyre going to eat because the kid doesn't like something

Answer 3

Kids, left to their own choices, would eat junk food. Parents need to make them eat right --fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, etc. We are seeing the results of "well, Dear, you don't have to eat it, if you don't like it" in the fact that America is in an obesity epidemic. I grew up in the dark ages (1950's) and was made to eat right. I now am 6' tall, weigh 215 and can bench press 200 pounds...I'm 60.

Answer 4

They tried but to no avail. When I was four I remember my mom making this salad for dinner and she poured bacon grease over the top of it which grossed me out. I was told I couldn't get up from the table until I finished it. Everyone left and I pulled two chairs together and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up in bed and she didn't serve me that salad again.

Answer 5

Spinach

Answer 6

Yes they forced me to eat sweet peas all the time. Still cannot stand those things.

Answer 7

Yeah...liver and onions was a big one....my mother couldn't cook them to save her life. Also...at Easter time...she would make this horrible pickled beet concoction where she would put the liquid, hard boiled eggs and beets in a large punch bowl.

Answer 8

My dad would force me to try things... once he made me taste a pickled egg, and it was so nasty I got sick ><

But since I liked vegetables, my mother never pressured me to try something new if I didn't want to

Answer 9

Yesssssssss and she made me sit at the table until I did !!!!! ... I won't even sit at a table and eat now unless eating out or in someone else's home !!!!

Answer 10

omg yes all the time but when they weren't looking I gave it to the dog or put it in a napkin sometimes I got away with it and sometimes I didn't!!
