Who's the Einstein that orders broccoli for kids? Carrots, Corn or even Green Beans would be a better choice. When I was in school they served Pea Soup. Yep, you guessed it. It all went right in the garbage!!!

Believe it or not, some parents are smart enough to encourage their kids to eat broccoli at an early age and they like it. Why are there always some people who criticize no matter what the subject?

My girls when young ate broccoli. Little tree's are what they called it. Bottom line no matter what veggie is being served, the cooks should take notice of what they are washing and preparing. Anything out of the ordinary should immediately be removed.
