After watching so many sports programs on television lately and trying to switch channels when an ad came on only to find that it seems all stations put the ads on at the same time. You can’t get away from them. The ones that caught my attention are the weight loss ads. Such a large number of success stories from the various products. I go back to when the Atkins Diet was the big rage. Now the number has increased ten-fold. The most frequent spots on TV include Weight-Watchers; Nutrisystem, GoLo, on down to Green Chef, Fuel Meals, Blue Apron, etc. Many of these are mail in meals for the person to eat. It sounds good in that it takes the burden of grocery shopping for food out of your daily life. And then the conic sections enter the picture with the dislike for broccoli, kale, and spinach from a parent-child confrontation. My dislike for spinach came from a can my mother opened and dropped a wet, soggy, mass of cold spinach on my plate. I was sure Popeye would never force a kid to eat that “healthy” food to get strong. When I found out you can get spinach as a green leaf vegetable in a salad my perspective changed.
