I like asparagus.
When I was a kid, I didn’t like asparagus. Or
broccoli. Or bok choy. Or a big salad. But, evidently, I’m not a kid anymore,
because I like them all now.
When I was a kid, I wanted breakfast cereals full
of sugar and food coloring. However, Mother usually made oatmeal. When I was a
kid, I’d rather eat candy than healthy food. My parents knew what was good for
me, which was a good thing because, as a kid, I sure didn’t. My parents took
the responsibility to provide what I needed, not what I wanted, because what I
wanted tended to be bad for me, and I didn’t like what tended to be good for
me. Consumption in my house was not determined by my child-like demand for junk
food - I was consuming healthier food because my parents were responsible
for the supply.
