Falsehoods About Food,

[jones jones]

When I was a kid my mom used to tell me that if I ate cheese at night I would have convulsions.

Later in life I mentioned this to a girlfriend and she said maybe my mom just said that cos cheese was expensive in those days!

What did your mom tell you about eating food that turned out to be a fib?

I know a guy who tells his kids that the music from the Ice Cream Van Is to let children know that he's sold out.

My mom used to tell me that if I swallowed water melon seeds they would grow out of my ears.

I can't really contribute to this thread because my parents never went down that route...

My Father had two lines when we were kids:

" Your Mother has worked very hard preparing that meal for you and the least you can do Is show some respect by eating It all"

Or

" No pudding until It's all gone"

Simple

I just finished reading a book called "Fat and Cholesterol are Good For You". It's by a researcher, M.D. and Ph.D. Uffe Ravnskov. He claims there is no such thing as bad cholestrol and that there is cholesterol in every living thing. The book is a real eye opener.

He also says that you need cholesterol for all different kinds of bodily functions and that alot of the hype on cholesterol being a poison is put out by the medical and food industries.

Find a copy and read it. Then, have your doctor read it.

My Mom just made us clean our plates

we had to eat everything She put on our plate.

I hate peas - sometimes I had to sit until late in the night - I just won't eat them..

We had apples trees - my mom told me not to eat the apple core/seeds

you'll have apples growing out your ears..!

One morn. - my sister picked small apple branches - laid them on my pillow

I woke to apples growing out my ears... :yh_rotfl Brat..

When I was little, I had the notion that I only liked catfish at the exclusion of all other fish. Ultimately, my mother simply began telling me that whatever fish she was serving, it was catfish regardless of whether it was flounder, croaker or even tuna. I never knew the difference!! Gradually I eased out of my catfish phase, no doubt moving onwards to something equally as peculiar!

My father used to encourage me to eat my carrots by telling me they were what made my eyes blue. Again, I believed him!
