    Just threaten them with a belt.. it's much cheaper

    A relatively unknown fact about nicotine is that it is also present in the cigarette, a small roll of finely-cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a cylinder of thin paper forsmoking. Putting nicotine in brocolli is therefore quite a silly move. Hope this helps.

    Heroin works much better tbh

    And when the kids become addicted, there's always cabbage patches.

    But surely the plate of broccoli is a happy meal?

    I find the best way to start getting kids to eat their vegetables is to learn how to spell word correctly and then move on from there.

    Don't forget to feed them the Arts too...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭Danbo!


    Ive always wondered if you feed a child mcdonalds every day for a few years, treating them to vegetables at the weekend, then eventually 'give in' and let them eat vegetables all the time, what would happen?

    I suppose its finding the right balance between letting them hate mcdonalds enough and them not dying due to severe obesity before the age of 3.

    or just force them too smoke a 20 pack a day

    I find a kick in the bollix and a punch to force your children to eat their veggies is better than addiction to nicotine

    As in Tomacco?

    nicotine is more addictive than heroin.

    However a 'normal' heroin sized dose of nicotine would kill you instantly.

    So when they get diarrhea and nausea, she blames the broccoli?

    By the way OP, if she put loads of nicotine on their veg her kids would die.

    Fear is an excellent motivator, on failing that tell them it's ninja food.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,378 ✭✭✭✭jimmycrackcorm


    Carrot in one hand and stick in the other and ask them which one they want to have salt on...

    I fed my nephew a vedgetable once. He choked on the 'd' & ended up in hospital.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭connemara man


    Have a picture of santa with you at all times, so you can point towards it when they refuse to eat vegetable while saying "Hes watching you"

    That didn't work for me when I was a child. My mum tried to get me to eat veg, but I don't eat chocolate, deserts, or ice-cream, so she didn't have much to bribe me with! :p I still don't eat veg, yuk! :o

    Best way to get kids to eat vegetables is to puree them down with some tomatoes added along with some herbs, seasoning and make pasta sauces out of them.
