Conger, MN | Along with "breakfast is the most important meal of the day", two other bad myths:
1. You need "three squares" every day!
2. You have to finish the food on your plate before you can leave the table!
Point #2 was hammered home. Even now -- 30+ years after I have known better -- I still have a hard time leaving food on my plate, even when I am full.
My mothers favorite saying was, "You can't waste that food! There are starving kids in Africa!" . . . . made me feel that if I didn't eat everything, it would make the poor African children's situations worse somehow. | |
