Healthy eating, huh! it was used by my mother as a form of birth control!
When my brother and I were teenagers if one of us was putting some extra effort into getting ready for a Saturday night out, (because of a date), you could guarantee that tea would be delayed and we would end up with a salad just before we went out.
No use complaining or just picking out the bits you wanted to eat the plate HAD to be cleared or Mum would go into guilt mode and we would never be forgiven for leaving something.
So along with the lettuce, cucumber, (burp), radishes, (even bigger burp) and hard boiled eggs, there would be spring onion and raw onion on the plate all of which had to be consumed.
No matter how you cleaned your teeth after that you just couldn't get rid of the 'onion' breath. Of course as the evening wears on the effect of the eggs mixed with beer had an added effect on the digestive system!
So what chance would you have of scoring with anyone that night?
