Your Mom Was Wrong - Culinary Myths Dispelled

Food myths......

How about the one that said you shouldn't swim until an hour after you eat?

I always hated going to the beach and getting some snack, and then not be allowed to swim for an hour.

I remember that one too. I always hated to eat lunch because mom would make me wait an hour before I could go back into the pool. She said if I didn't I'd get cramps and drown. ::)

They used to make us eat a box of Jell-o before a swim meet too. Not regular Jell-o. We had to eat the mix, the powder straight out of the box. I never could understand why it was okay to eat a box of Jell-o mix and jump straight into a pool for a swim meet, but yet wait an hour after lunch when I was having fun. It never made any sense to me. ???

Oh I loved the Jelly (thats what we call Jello here) straight out of the box. Its really just flavoured sugar with some gelatine in it. When I was young we would not only get the flavoured sugar but hidden in there was always a hard flavoured lolly ball....

Obviously they gave u Jello before a swim meet to give you a boost of energy.......(child doping)
