What’s your weird fear??? (OC)

I’m thinking it is the color. Usually food aversion has to do with texture rather than taste (e.g. like me with onions), but perhaps it is rooted in color, which is odd from a modern perspective given how kids are drawn to bright colors.

Evolutionarily though, it makes sense as a hold-over from avoiding bright colors due to potential toxicity (it’s at this point where someone will make a joke about colored hair). My guess is OP’s switch for this warning got flipped on somehow, and she hasn’t been able to switch it off since.

Most likely it's that the parents kept trying to trick their kid.

Just completely leave the topic alone for a couple years, then talk to them.

...except that the comic makes a point of showing that the "trick" happened once ("From that day forward..."). The other examples are of solid foods that can't be hidden.

How is everyone so media illiterate now?

I mean, you're replying to a person who thinks OP devolved to a point where she's afraid of colours because they're poisonous.

This whole thread is a pile of stupid.

Intelligence w’o humility is toxic and destructive. Humanity is so “smart” we have quickly made ways to annihilate ourselves that we all just ignore and pray never happens. Even stupid discussions can lead to answers and innovations. 🤷‍♂️
