    I learned the same lesson when I moved away from home.

    Everybody learns that lesson as they enter adulthood

    Nothing is tastier than “forbidden fruit”—especially when it’s eaten raw and isn’t overcooked to mush! BTW, what’s that thing on the fence in the last panel? Looks kinda like a car fender.

    Leaving home means discovering what ‘hunger’ is.

    From Lynn’s Comments: One of the things I loved about Ontario was the fall markets. I looked forward to the bins of apples, the many varieties of pumpkins, sweet corn, home-canned pickles, fresh produce and baking. All around us would be the spectacular colours of the fall leaves and the smell of frost in the air. Some memories come back in Technicolor!

    I take it that the blue money was $5 Canadian with Wilfrid Laurier on it. I assume this was before the loonies and toonies.

    This has some really pretty art to it. Wonder how long it takes to create one with so much detail. These days with digital art it’s easier I’m sure.

    It’s amazing how some young peole that are out on their own, forget about the hours spent at the dinner table refusing to eat the veggies they now think are great.

    I gotta admit, my taste buds never caught onto the idea that carrots, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc., have ever tasted good.

    After I lived away from my parents, supporting myself for a few years, I discovered my parents had gained immensely in wisdom and intelligence.

    Love veggies and fruits, a good market is a blessing.

    No matter, Michael. Mom will have her celebratory moment when YOU have kids that keep you and your future wife up all night!

    And to think Michael was worried he was going to be called “Avacadohead” for the rest of his life.

    It just means they needed to be more involved with the food/meal process before they left home. Our son left for college already knowing how to cook. He continues to be an excellent cook in his adult life. He can make naan from scratch and he’s got a few curry recipes that are awesome.

    Now if there were beans, the next day all of Michael and Weeder’s classmates would need to wear gas masks.

    So long as he keeps on eating the veggies – that’s all that matters!

    Perhaps the issue was that Ellie cooked the life out of those veggies. I know someone whose mother cooked everything to mush and to this day, she doesn’t like veggies much because that’s the only way she ever ate them growing up.

    Don’t tell my mother, but not for the reasons you may think. Mike has been shown eating fresh fruit for snacks for years. Elly, on the other hand, has almost always pushed away fruit in favor of cake or pastries.

    Why are those guys so focused on eating healthy? Canada has single-payer.

    Always did enjoy a sugar-sweet carrot fresh out of the garden.

    “Don’t tell my mother”… What, because Weed and Elly talk to each other a couple of times a week? Is it because Weed is actually April’s father?

    The secret of getting kids to try new foods. When they tell you they don’t like something, just say it is because they are not old enough to like it yet. then they are always willing to try it again over time to see if they are old enough to like it yet….amazingly they sometimes ARE.
