Plain spaghetti. No sauce with meatballs. How uncivilized.

No vegetables then?

We ate what was put in front of us. But if you really hate certain foods your mom should work around them. But there ought to be only a few, not everything except a few things you eat all the time.

As a child, we ate what was put in front of us or we sat at the table until bedtime. (We soon learned not to be pickly.) Fitfty years later I love any type of food!

Awful lot of grains and not much else in that diet, kid…

yeah, really…waffles and spaghetti don’t go together…unless you use wasabi on it

All starches and nothing else is not a healthy diet. Her mom is right and she needs more veggies, dairy, meat and fruit to round out her diet.

My mother had a simple rule: try it. If you don’t like it you don’t have to eat it. But you have to try it.

My mom said when I get my own house I can eat what I want. Now I eat what my wife puts in front of me.
