Gross things you ate as a child or your kids eat?

@lolasf how are you even still alive now lol eatin butter whole sticks at a time

bluecorp, butter doesn't contain any poisons. It's a fairly nutritious food, in fact.

I like butter.

Maybe blue is thinking of the cholesterol and fat.

I think you're right, sashac. But I get impatient with people who think that consuming a pound or two extra of butter over a couple of years of childhood is inevitably going to kill you. It's part of the "heart attack on a plate" or "I can feel my arteries hardening just reading the recipe" mentality that I just have no patience with.

I know what you mean but mayhap blue was joking. I've said that kind of thing jokingly.

People who say "I can feel my arteries hardening just reading the recipe" are joking; they don't expect the listeners to believe that they could feel their arteries hardening just reading the recipe.

But I think it's a joke that's evidence of an attitude towards food that I find annoying. Food is to be enjoyed. If it's food, then it isn't poison, and any food, including sticks of butter, can be part of a perfectly healthy diet.

I have to admit, if I'm really enjoying something and someone starts talking about the health issues involved, I get a bit miffed, especially if they're eating it too. Otherwise, I don't think about it much.

I was joking of course but i still dont think its a good idea to eat butter sticks
