food: dangerous food

I used to believe that people were trying to poison me. I almost stopped eating and drinking entirely until my Dad threatened putting me through another surgery if I didn't start eating.

After finishing dinner, I heard my mother say green beans and onions help prevent cancer but I didn't know what "prevent" actually meant .. thus I assumed she meant these vegetables CAUSED cancer. I cried in my room for hours thinking I was surely going to die.

when i was about four years old someone told me if you eat to many green vegtables you would turn green and die.so i went downstairs and put all the green veg in the bin.

When I was a kid one of my friends moms told us kids that you could die if you ate too many Nanaimo bars (coconut/chocolate/crumb base with custard creme middle and hard chocolate top layer), while we were all oogling a plate of them. Obviously, she told us this because then we wouldn't eat them all, but it stayed in the back of my head for years and years afterwards.

When I was six I dropped an apple pip on my lap and I was really scared cos I thought a big tree would grow out of my skirt!

My friend told me if you eat more than 3 Lyches, you would vomit.

I apparently loved crab and shrimp when I was little (probably around age three and earlier, seeing as I don't remember it) but I then started having nightmares about lobsters and shrimp. I thought that I ate them, they'd come back to life and attack me. I didn't start eating shrimp again until I was nine. This made eating at Red Lobster much more difficult for my family, especially when they wanted to get the jumbo shrimp cocktail.

Kiedy byłam małą dziewczynką myślałam ze jak zjem wisienkę z pestką to urośnie mi drzewko w brzuszku i uszami bedą wychodzić mi liście, a jak bede starsza to wyrośnie mi korzeń z pupy i nie bede mogła się ruszać tylko mnie gdzieć posadzą.

when my brother and i were younger we liked messing around with our little sister. one time she went to grab a lime out of the fridge and we screamed "NOOOO!!!!! what do you think you're doing? you're going to get lyme disease!!!" for years she wouldn't even look at a lime.

I used to believe that some people were vegetarians because they were allergic to meat.

While my uncle was preparing fish that he caught earlier that day, i saw the fish guts, and knew, that it was a dangerous creature that lived inside the fish, and would leap at my face if i got to close.

When I was little my uncle told me that if I swallowed my gum i'd get worms in my stomach.
After that whenever I accidentally swallowed a piece of gum I imagined garden worms wriggling around inside my stomach.

I used to believe that jelly (jello, your American I'm British but I come from America) was alive and I wouldn't eat Jelly until my sister was born and she started eating it

I was told by my mum that eating sugar would give me worms.
Whatever that meant

When I was little I somehow thought that Rice Krispies were Gremlins that when you ate them jumped into your ears and ate your brain. I also believed in a fairy at the bottom of the garden called Dingo.

Sushi had a Snorlax in it that would eat me.
