I guess it could be from anyone since the poster failed to provide an authenticated identity.<br /><br />That being the case it isn't worth refuting what anonymous people write. :)Jonathan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991321405489551817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195960884587142892.post-14709525477492057602010-10-07T15:39:52.064-04:002010-10-07T15:39:52.064-04:00Oh, and one more thing....I may have been a tad bi...Oh, and one more thing....I may have been a tad bit more difficult growing up, but at least I'm not the most difficult offspring as an adult!! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195960884587142892.post-54284319325023762982010-10-07T15:37:29.119-04:002010-10-07T15:37:29.119-04:00Okay, I have remined silent long enough. Time for ...Okay, I have remined silent long enough. Time for me to set a few things straight. First, of all I distinctly remember being made to eat good portions of things I didn't like. Second, I will admit that when I was growing up my tastes did change quite often..cough...cough; however, looking back I believe that can be attributed to the different way things were cooked. Canned broccoli, steamed broccoli, broccoli soup, etc all taste different. Furthermore, my tastes today are not as changing. Ther are few things I dislike. I like all of the normal stuff. A few people in our family, who shall remain nameless, don't like simple things like grapes, spaghetti, or bananas. And yet I am the one under ridicule! I don't get it! And btw, I like my broccoli steamed and when I am trying to be unhealthy I like it with cheese.

It took hours to consume and was at least half the can.<br /><br />Second, the statement that it had a positive impact is not true. I could have told you from a single bite that I didn't like the beets. Regardless I had to finish them all. I have tried exotic food all over the world, I'll try anything, but as an adult if I try it and don't like it I'm not forced to finish it. For some warped reason, I tried beets and did not like them. Apparently dad thought I needed to eat half the can to make sure. He never made my sister eat half of anything.<br /><br />As for the positive impact it had on my sister, she continues to dislike foods based on the day of the week. If anything she became more picky with what she eats seeing what they did to me. Go ahead, ask her if she likes broccoli and how she likes it prepped. I dare you.Jonathan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991321405489551817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195960884587142892.post-14466392386480635502010-10-01T12:33:33.911-04:002010-10-01T12:33:33.911-04:00As the who owns the copyright to this story let me...As the who owns the copyright to this story let me clarify a few points. First the amount of beets consumed by the young lad was 6.02 micrograms. Second while he did not think this had much of apositive impact, esecially on him, the fact remains that he can honestly say he has tried beets and does not like them. Also another profound affect was on his sister observing this little lesson in life and from that point on not disliking any other foods.<br />Moral of the story: Bravo for BeetsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
