Default Food Fables told to you by your parents

My parents would always tell me that candy was bad for me, but my
father said that Clark bars were healthy. He was raised in the
Pittsburgh PA area where Clark bars were made. Of course as a kid how
could I argue with his logic. Clark bars were just as good if not
better than Hersey bars. Anyone else have a food "fable" provided by
your parents?

PS: In "Candyfreak" the author mentions that in the 1920's Clark bars
promoted their product by having an airplane fly over Pittsburgh, and
drop Clark bars to all the kids. Can anyone say Berlin Airlift?
