re: #167 Hecuba’s daughter

This is for her children — and chicken nuggets and mac and cheese seem to be staples of many such diets. She was also sneaking in vegetables. Not necessarily the healthiest meal but a desperate attempt to get cooperation from her offspring.

I dunno, what happened to “you have to eat three bites” or something like that? Or “we don’t have money to waste on food, eat your dinner”? I do remember how, in the early ’90s, my sister would pick up dinner for herself and one kid at a Mexican place’s drive through, and then get Burger King for the other kid, and I thought it was crazy back then. Still think it’s crazy.
