At 16 \u00a0I was invited to a corn roast.<\/p>\n

I hated corn.<\/p>\n

But the girl who invited me was wonderful.<\/p>\n

So I ate a little bit of corn each day.<\/p>\n

And thought wonderful thoughts about her while doing so.<\/p>\n

I started to appreciate the Taste, then the Texture, then …etc.<\/p>\n

Soon I could eat an entire ear of corn and actually enjoy it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It takes 3 weeks to go from I-hate-it to I-like-it. (See # 176<\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s all it takes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ok, so?<\/p>\n

Well there are many foods you ‘should’ eat you probably do not like and think you never will.<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned it takes only 3 weeks to change that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t forget the reverse.<\/p>\n

There are many foods you should NOT eat that you like.<\/p>\n

Choose only<\/em> one<\/span> (to start)<\/p>\n

Become extremely fussy with it.<\/p>\n

Notice its minor flaws in taste, texture, etc…<\/p>\n

In 3 weeks you will just not want to eat it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that’s not a long time compared to how long you have been eating it!<\/p>\n
