I don't like broccoli. Never really have, but I used to think I SHOULD eat
broccoli...it's good for me, etc. etc. Then Dubya's daddy did the one thing
I aever really liked--he mentioned he didn't like broccoli, and didn't eat
it. Of course this led to great controversy (which tells you how silly the
world can be.) I felt strongly that if the president didn't want to eat
broccoli, he shouldn't have to. And I don't either.

We don't push eating things on Julian just because they're good for him.
Sometimes he complains he doesn't like broccoli, but then he'll order
broccoli-cheese soup at a reataurant we like. But then...he's a bit weird. I
think it's all that television he watches.
