I have always felt that forcing a child to eat something they CLEARLY HATE is a kind of torture...hence, child abuse. At my table no one HAS to eat everything (you do have to at least TRY it), but don't expect me to make a whole different dinner for you...have some more bread if you're still hungry.
I gagged on sandwiches my mom made cold liverswurst mayonnaises sandwiches. And we were poor, like six starving kids poor, so mom didnt care what we liked or if we even ate it. Hard to pass on the one guaranteed meal of the day, but I could not swallow no matter how much tried. The terror of not being able to swallow still haunts me today.
