Eurekalert: New research: Children’s vegetable intake linked to Popeye cartoons.
”Researchers at Mahidol University in Bangkok found the type and amount of vegetables children ate improved after they took part in a program using multimedia and role models to promote healthy food.” I fights to the finish, ‘cause I eats my spinach ... still remember that. Still hate cooked spinach, esp. out of cans.
Comments:
I was a potato freak as a kid. Any way you fixed ‘em, I ate em. Corn, peas, limas ... I’d choke down brocc, avoided spinach, and artichoke wasn’t gonna choke ME ...

Raised a large part of my childhood in small towns in Texas and Oklahoma where dinner might mean three different kinds of veggies with your fried chicken, still don’t get canned spinach - just awful.
