In the 4th grade, the lunchroom was serving 'tomatoes & Rice'..... which a lot of people apparently like...... mixed together.

I didn't and still don't.
The principal was walking around the lunchroom and forcing kids to eat their veggies.
When he got to me he said I needed to eat my rice & tomatoes and I told him I didn't eat rice & tomatoes because it made me retch.
He kept at it until I ate a spoonful........... and then promptly threw up all over his trouser legs and Florsheim shoes....... followed up by saying that I had warned it would make me sick.
He never tried that again.
I started early in my defiance of wannabe power figures.
