You obviously don't have the gene that makes broccoli taste super bitter then.
I'm pretty sure there's also something about growing and losing a lot of taste buds over time, which partly explains why adults and babies like broccoli more than older children. And some people just haven't had broccoli made properly, they've only seen it boiled to a disgusting mush rather than steamed to al dente.

I don't like all vegetables, but broccoli I do like, and I never understood the hate of broccoli. Those are my broccoli thoughts.

It's because a lot of your sense of taste is memory based. Kids are very sensitive to bitter tastes and a lot of them have texture aversion issues when it comes to food. So some people remember being a kid more than others and recall "super bitter weird-feeling thing" when they think about broccoli.

Thank you for reading my very interesting treatise on the thing my feeding expert wife just told me in the comics thread.

This is a weird one, because the joke should be the kid saying "dickloma" but that's not the end of the strip. Instead it looks like the joke is "Parents are expected to go to stupid pointless things for their kids" when most parents actually would want to go to something like that. Maybe I'm reading too much into it due to what I know about Lynn.

The joke is the letter says it means a lot to the kids, but the kid doesn't give a poo poo and barely even understands it. So yeah, typical Lynn.

Enhydra lutris posted:

Thank You for the Kind Words; I am happy that the Dugongs are enjoyed by Posters; their Plight should be publicised; please tell your Friends and Relations about them; and their Danger of Extinction. They are closely related to the Manatees; the Dugong and the Three (3) extant Species of Manatee (the West Indian Manatee [Trichechus manatus]; the West African Manatee [Trichechus senegalensis]; the Amazonian Manatee [Trichechus inunguis]) are the only remaining members of the Sirenia Order; the Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) became Extinct quite recently; the last Sighting was in the Eighteenth Century. I am especially interested in Dugongs and Manatees because Male Specimens frequently engage in Homosexual Behaviour; the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) is particularly known for its Homosexual Behaviour; Males of this Species frequently stimulate each other's Genitalia with their Mouths; or Masturbate via Friction; they rub their Penises together to the point of Ejaculation; they are Highly Affectionate between Males [Homosocial]. I appreciate Bears; they are an Apex Predator and are thus a vital part of a Functioning Ecosystem across multiple Biomes; my Favourite Bear is the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus); I enjoy its charming Yellow Facial Markings; and its Peaceful Nature; it is predominantly Vegetarian [feeding on Plants] and very Shy. An Interesting Fact is that "Bear" is a Euphemism [Gentle Phrase] for a Large and Hairy Homosexual Man; "Otter" is a Euphemism for a Thin and Hairy Homosexual Man; I was informed of this by the Fab Goons; I am Large and Hairy; I also wear Spectacles; I could refer to my self in a Light Hearted Fashion as a Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus); but I am not a Homosexual so I can not use this Term. Here is a Photograph of a Spectacled Bear with prominent Markings; it is a Handsome Bear.

Huuuurgh. Something about the way this artist draws the human body is just intensely repulsive, but I can't put my finger on what exactly it is. Brooke's art is bad, but I can let my eyes slide past it without absorbing too much ick. But somehow the way Working Days is drawn makes me look at it every time, even though I don't want to.

I think this was Rex Morgan, actually. I remember because this plotline, like all Rex Morgan plotlines, began with Rex and company in mortal danger and resolved with the antagonists smiling and offering the Morgans more money.
