Re: Re-reading Tightwad Gazette
I've been re-reading it too.
I just got to the article about picky eating and, of course, it irritated the hell out of me. My mom made me eat those peas every night of my life and now I can't even stand the smell of peas. If I smell them, I need to throw up. I can't even eat at "The Black-eyed Pea" because just the name makes me so nauseated.
I do like her math figures. And I suspect that she doesn't have kids with texture issues or she would change her mind on the "picky" eating. If the mere touch of a food makes a child gag, then it isn't something they are doing on purpose (I say this as a "picky" adult).
