When I was a kid back in the 1950/60's my mother told me to eat all my vegetables because children in China were starving.

It looks like your mother realized you were blessed to have food and wanted you to be thankful for what you had. Did you heed her advice and eat your veggies?

If only Mom had just cooked regular pole beans.
