Many people (read: my father) consider I'm picky, but there really is a lot I do eat. As for sushi, if you like rice and fish, and don't have a problem with (algae? how do you call it in English?), you should enjoy. Yummy yummy sushi. Damn you, Amanda, for telling us about sushi, I'm hungry now. I don’t get people who practically don’t like any sort of food.

If someone tried to force meat on me I would probably have the same reaction. Most of my meat ends up in the dog's belly anyway, haha. I don't know if that classifies me as a picky eater, but it makes me feel like one. I have to eliminate over half the menu at a normal restaurant. But sushi is the best. I wish someone had tried to force feed it to me when I went to Hong Kong. :( I was scared of it back then.

I love sushi. In fact, my sister and I have gone to our favorite sushi bar 3 times in 2 weeks. But at least your brother seems like a pretty normal picky eater. My brother eats just about anything but he does not eat condiments... and he particularly despises ketchup. I think he's ketchophobic because when we're having dinner, he can't even have the ketchup near him! I don’t understand how some people cannot eat sushi! I love sushi.

I'm going to have to try this method on my sister sometime. Except she eats slightly better than your brother. For one, she loves sushi... as long as it has surimi in it. Heh. Damn.

I do believe that these days parents do allow their kids to get away with eating junk food all day. But sushi would have scared even me :P. When my brother was younger, he would always close his mouth so my mother couldn't feed him. My mother just pulled on his nose until he had to open his mouth and jammed the food right in. And that is why my brother has such a long nose :D. And so imagine, you can tell this beautiful force feeding story to your brother's kids one day! That is just hilarious.

I push him around sometimes but he complains so easily! I'm always trying to be strict with him, but my parents are lenient.

He just ... isn't. And would probably kill me if I broke any of his PS2 games ... or maybe he would kill himself. Hm. I wish my brother would be afraid of me. He just … isn’t.
