Everything is toxic to some degree, and many foods are vital to some degree. Strike a balance. Or eat boring food all the time, and accept the junk packet food carefully selected by food scientists to satisfy our daily recommended dosages, and let anxiety conquer your ability to enjoy food. Either way, I still prefer eating Brussels sprouts over snot! -- Ross McKay, Toronto, NSW Australia " I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down " - Everclear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any anxiety about eating brussels sprouts. I as addressing whether it is desirable to try to get kids that hate them to eat them. > Either way, I still prefer eating Brussels sprouts over snot! Yeah snot is probably less toxic but I would pick the brussels sprouts anyway if there were lots of butter nearby. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the shots of seratonin !!!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I never ate boogers, snot, or mucus. I have always thought it was disgusting. So, it's not something all kids do.
