Food-related lies/myths that adults tell kids?
this topic reminded me of things that I was taught as a kid and stuck around for a while.
here are some examples:
"You'll go blind if you leave rice grains in your bowl" by my 2nd-grade school teacher during school lunch (in Japan, kids used to have to finish whatever served for lunch, even if they don't like it. I don't think it's true anymore).
"Coca cola melts your teeth." (somewhat true).
Of course I didn't really buy what they said at that time, but I still feel like I can't leave any food on my plate (especially rice).
Do you have similar stories?
Have you told your kids convenient lies about foods?
