When I was a kid we were not allowed milk if we were sick. So I used to eat my cheerios with OJ. It got to the point I liked it more than with milk.
People love making arbitrary food rules. Eat whatever tastes good, so long as no one's hurt.
That is how I feel too. I used to gatekeep food. Now I am like whatever. Eat what you like how you like.
Specially since going plant based, my favourite hobby is breaking food rules.
Bella is vegan too, funnily enough.
So it was between orange juice, oat starch water, or soy bean soup. Yet people think orange juice is somehow weird.
Me until my SO starting starting pouring ketchup on the pasta I made him with homemade pasta sauce.
Ketchup is hands down the worst condiment. If my kid wasn't obsessed with it on everything, I wouldn't even have any in my house.
Don't yuck someone else's yum.
I mean, there are absolutely tons of diets and eating patterns that absolutely will harm the person eating them...
... And if you are regularly encouraging or induldging in that kind of diet among impressionable people, like children, that may transfer to them as normal/acceptable.
Also I guess if you are cooking/eating something that has particularly aerosolized ingredients or elements that other people are allergic to or just find incredibly repulsive, you might cause other people to vomit or have an allergic reaction.
I mean, canibalism comes to mind...
try it with a shot of kahlua
My mom had the same rule about milk. She said if you were running a fever, the milk would "curdle in your stomach" and make you nauseous. Your stomach is acidic. Milk always curdles in your stomach.
Asked my mom about this a few years back because she had the same rule. Turned out, she knew it was mostly bs, but she didnt want to deal with kids puking up curdled milk because it grossed her out, and apparently we had a harder time puking it up so we were more upset.
And honestly, i dont blame her. Depending on the year, she could have had 5 kids in the house all sick to some degree. If it took telling us milk would make us sicker to help ease that stress, I agree with it.
I mean, I've never eaten any cereal with OJ instead of milk, but it seems like it could work with a cereal + OJ combination that isn't too overpowerfully sweet, or just a really strange combo.
Like... Lucky Charms + OJ... seems like it would be weird.
But... OJ + some kind of bran flake based cereal? That... might actually be better than milk, imo.
Now I want to try this haha.
I've always been the kind of person that'll try basically any kind of food at least once.
I only ever recall eating plain cheerios (actually a knockoff called oat-e-oh) and kix, but those were not great with the oj.
