Do children hate broccoli?

In my day, everyone hated spinach although I doubt that most of us had ever eaten it. It was just the food that everyone hated. I even read once that the creators of Popeye made spinach his power source as a means to counteract this.

My own children loved broccoli as well as brussel sprouts, turnips and rutabagas but they sure hated peas in any way shape or form.

I don't suppose that you ever heard about the Great American broccoli scandal when in 1990, President George H bush said this.

 

"I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid. And my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States. And I'm not gonna eat any more broccoli! ... For the broccoli vote out there, Barbara loves broccoli. She's tried to make me eat it. She eats it all the time herself. So, she can go out and meet the caravan of broccoli that's coming in from Washington."
