Sounds like Brady!
"My mother and I had some history with regard to eating. To hear her tell it, I refused all nourishment for several years. In desperation, she would tell me that the spoonful of baby food was an airplane coming in to land. My lips remained sealed. As I reached the toddling stage, she would go so far as to cut a boxwood switch and lay it next to my plate. I would eat what was put before me, or else. The threat of corporal punishment didn't work, either. In some ways, I was a tough kid."
LOL, full article.

Oh, come on, you're not going to tell us that as a kid you always ate what was put in front of you??? I was an awful eater, wouldn't accept pretty much 90% of things presented to me!! Of course, as my increasing weight demonstrates, I'm more than making up for that now...LOL
The only food I refuse to allow into my system is boiled oatmeal. Oatmeal in cookies, oatmeal in granola, oatmeal colored yarn, all rank among my favs. Oatmeal boiled on the stove with any kind of flavoring makes me yech my insides. Ugh, just thinking about it....
That's normal for 99% of the kid population, I thought. I lived in a high-rise condo when I was a kid. My parents kept me entertained/distracted with the building elevator in order for me to open up my mouth so that they could feed me.
Sure, that's normal. Sticking out your tongue to block the entryway...
is priceless??
