When I was about three or four, my mom always told me that chocolate was bad for you. So I thought it was created in a lab by an evil scientist who purposely made it taste good just so he could trick kids into eating it and making them unhealthy.

I used to cry whenever my family would eat eggs. I was convinced that we were eating baby chickens that gave up their lives so we could have food. Once I kept a dozen eggs hidden underneath my bed for a week, convinced that they'd hatch and grow into chickens.

— Here, chicken!food : nasty food

I used to believe…

all my teachers and my parents and people on T.V would say - an apple a day keeps the dentist away. So when the time came that i had to brush my teeth(which i hated) i would an apple instead

When I was really young I thought the food you ate just dropped down into your body and would slowly pile up starting at your feet. This theory was confirmed I thought when I was at the hospital once and had a chest x-ray done. The doctor was showing the image to my dad and I and my dad was pointing out my lungs to me. The bottom of the x-ray was really dark so I pointed to it and said "and that's the food I ate?" My dad goes "ya", probably cause he didn't know what I was talking about. I struggled with the problem of what happens when you fill up your whole body for awhile until I learned about digestive systems in school.

When I was young I thought that it was a "great privaledge" to go to the grocery store with my mom and sit in the cart. To entertain me my mom would pass me the items to throw into the cart. Then my younger sister came along, and she would ride inthe body of the cart and I would ride in the seat. Now old habits don't die, so when my mom passed me a grapefruit it hit my sister right in the face. I have always wondered if she would have been normal if that had never happened...

When I was 6 I didnt know what the word raw meant. My friend told me that raw bananas would kill you if you ate them. Later I saw my mom eating a banana. I asked her if it was raw and she said it was. I got really scared that my mom was going to die until she explained what raw meant.

I used to always associate the world "double" with cheeseburgers because of double cheeseburgers from McDonald's.

I was upset that Mrs. Butterworths did not actually speak. The first time I had Mrs Butterworths syrup my older sister told me that she wasn't speaking because she was dead. She couldn't breathe in the shopping bag from the grocery store and she suffocated on the way home. I cried for a long time at that one.

I used to call Chinese Spareribs Chinese chicken. (Spareribs to me at the time tasted a lot like chicken) So I thought that chickens in China had really weird "rib-shaped" legs.

My sister and I knew about brest feeding,but we couldn't remember what it tasted like. We believed that all girls of any age had milk. My sister, being the gulible one, obediently put her mouth on my chest. She claimed to have tasted some and said it was good. Then it was my turn. I put my mouth on her chest and said that I got some too! As you can tell, we were young and oh so stupid.
